baby-airport
Are you going on a family vacation and are you going to travel on a Ryanair plane with a baby ? In that case, it is convenient for you to take into account everything that I am going to tell you in this article, since the Irish airline has its conditions in this regard. To begin with, they do not allow you to board their planes with a newborn less than 7 days old (inclusive).

Only if they are accompanied by an adult

Those who can travel are those between 8 days and 23 months, although they must do so accompanied by an adult over 16 years of age for each baby of that age. There is the possibility that you can travel on the lap of said adult, but in that case you do not have the right to check luggage. Of course, the adult can carry their hand luggage, a small package and a bag that does not exceed 5 kilos with the baby’s things.

Free equipment

Good news has to do with the fact that you can bring two items of baby / toddler equipment at no extra charge. You get a free stroller and another item that can be the travel cot or the booster seat or car seat. They must be tagged at the baggage check-in desk at least 40 minutes in advance of the flight departure time.

We cannot go with a baby carriage until we get to our seat. It must be left next to the plane’s ladder, which is where it is later collected. If you need a baby changing table, go to the rear of the aircraft.

Possibility of reserving a seat for the baby

Babies over one year old, who are already considered children at that age, can occupy a seat on the plane using the Amsafe CARES restraint system provided by Ryanair. The child’s weight must be between 10 and 20 kilos and must be reserved by calling the call center.

If the child is over 2 years old and you want to use this restraint system, the reservation of all passengers can be made through the Ryanair website, but you must contact them so that they take this particularity into account. , since not all the seats of their airplanes incorporate the system.

For a baby between 8 days and 23 months we can also hire a separate seat , but the little one will always travel on the lap of an adult over 16 years of age during take-off, landing and when the lights that indicate to put on are turned on. seatbelt.
