Travelling with an infant

An infant is a child who has not yet reached his/her 2nd birthday during his/her entire trip.

Infants up to 7 days old are permitted to fly, provided the parent or guardian can present a doctor’s certification confirming that the infant is fit to travel and was not born prematurely.
Parents of premature infants need to provide certification from an obstetrician that the infant is in good health to travel.
It is allowed maximum one (1) infant per accompanying adult, adult who is over 16 years of age.
Parents/guardians must carry the infant's necessary identification documents, as well as any other documents required at the destination (for example, VISA/passport etc.).
Infants can only travel on the lap of their parent/guardian. It is permitted to carry formula and/or breast milk in your cabin baggage until 6kg. Nevertheless, there is the possibility that you will be inspected at the checkpoints.
The maximum number of infants allowed per aircraft is decided by the number of oxygen masks and infant belts available on board the aircraft.
Passengers requiring mobility assistance (e.g., wheelchair or walking aids) cannot travel as the accompanying adult for an infant.

If infants are travelling on the accompanying adult’s lap, the Infant Fare applies.
If the adult prefers that the baby has his/her own seat (in compliance with the necessary safety standards), then a discount Child Fare (if available) must be purchased and the adult must carry a car-type seat with him/her, which should comply with the international safety standards (find out more in the section below). The required procedure to be followed is to contact AEGEAN’s Call Center or his/her travel agent, accordingly.
If the infant turns 2 while travelling, a separate seat must be booked for him/her at the Child Fare for the entire journey. In this case, carrying a car-type seat is optional.

Infant seats approved for use in the aircraft, on the basis of the technical standard, should hold:

UN Standard ECE R44-04 (or 03), or ECE R129 bearing the respective ‘ECE R’ label; and
German ‘Qualification Procedure for Child Restraint Systems for Use in Aircraft’ (TÜV/958-01/2001) bearing the label ‘For Use in Aircraft’;

Other technical standard acceptable to the competent authority. The child seat should hold a qualification sign that it can be used in the aircraft.

Infant seats may be used for infants and children up to 12 years old.
The maximum weight of the child is limited to 27kg.
The bottom of infant seat may not exceed 40 cm/15.7 inches x 40 cm/15.7 inches - in order to allow installation on all cabin seats.
The infant seat must have shoulder belts for the infant.
The construction of the infant seat must allow secure lashing with the cabin seat belt and may not hamper reclining of the seat in front.
The infant seat must be lashed before departure and remain that way until arrival.

Infant seats must be used in an unoccupied aircraft seat and cannot be held in an adult’s lap.
The car-type infant seat must remain properly secured to a seat at all times unless the car-type infant seat is stored as carry-on.

Infant seats must not be placed:
