Seats for children

You're welcome to use your own child safety restraint system (CRS) on board our flights, provided that the restraint systems are certified and marked as such.

There's no charge for the use of a child restraint system, but since the CRS must be attached to a passenger seat, a child ticket must be purchased, even for children under the age of 2.

As a rule, a window seat is the preferred location and the accompanying adult must sit next to the child.

Child safety restraint systems

The following child safety restraint systems can be used on our flights. Please notice that there might be some limitations due to difference of the seat width in different aircrafts (as detailed in the table below).

• Child seats that have been approved by a member state of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or Transport Canada for exclusive use in aircraft and are marked accordingly.
• Child seats that are approved in accordance with safety standard ECE R44/03, 04 or a later version for use in motor vehicles and for children with reduced mobility.
