Is traveling with a 6month old baby free on airplane?

I go to travelocity.com and orbitz.com. They have options for 2 years old and +.

Why do they not ask for children under 2? Are they free?

I got a quote on a airplane ticket but not sure if it's right because the website did not ask me if i had my 6 month old with me....


Under 2 they are free if they sit on your lap. If they require a seat then you have to pay.

You don't need to buy a seat for a baby under 2 years and don't need to pay. However, you also don't get an additional luggage allowance. Most airlines allow you to check in items such as pram and portacot without charge, but these may use a percentage of your luggage allowance. When I flew with my daughter, I checked in her pram and carseat without charge, but they counted as 5kg of my 20kg luggage allowance.

Some airlines will allow you to purchase a seat for your baby if you want to ,but this isn't always possible.

Babies under 2 years old are free. I rode Greyhound and my son (10.5 months) was free on the bus as well. But if the plane is crowded then you may end up having to hold your baby in your arms the whole time since you only paid for one seat. I was lucky enough to have an extra seat for him to play around in and sleep on.

Children under 2 can ride in your lap, so you don't have to buy a seat.

Some airlines offer half price tickets for children under 2, so they can ride in a car seat.

Call the airline you will be using to verify everything so you're not surprised by anything.

They dont normally ask for information on younger than two year olds because they are expected to sit on your knee.

I fly with thomas cook and my 6 month old is free but has no seat. And dont forget, if they have no seat, they are not aloud to have a suitcase...they will share yours.

Have a good flight!

Technically children under the age of 2 ride for free and are considered lap passengers.

In my experience, if the plane is not full then the airline will let your child (and/or their car seat) sit in the seat next to you.

If your baby under 2 years old wants a seat you have to pay the child fare. If your baby will sit on your lap your baby is free. If you want a seat for your baby just click the age 2+ box.

yes

they like to know if you have a child or mobility issues, so they can decide where to seat you

if mobility sometimes they will let you get off first, other times last ...

Yes, under 2 you can choose to have them sit on your lap for free. :)

Yes, if you want them on your lap. But if you want there own seat then you need to pay for that.

They don't get a seat unless you pay for it, however, they can sit in your lap for free.

its usually if they take up a seat it's a normal fare

if not then it's free

if your travelling locally its free..if its international half or it depends on the airline

Yes, under two they are free

yes, if she/he stay in your lap. since they dont take a whole seat, you dnt need to pay for it

they are free up until two
