Traveling With Infant Or A Child by aneldaking(m): 12:38pm On Dec 27, 2016
Customers traveling with infant should have this information to guide them: so far your infant is under 2years and over 7 days old and on board with someone who is at max 15 years old, then be informed that you are not expected to buy a seat for them and can lap them for free.


A child is considered a lap child From 7 days to 23 months, and need not to be paid a seat though, customers may decide to buy a seat for the infant due to their own personal reasons.

The moment a child hits his/her second birthday that child is no longer considered infant/lap child, therefore seat have to be bought before he/she will be allowed to travel, in the case were you have airlines doubting the age of a baby’s birth certificate will be tendered as a proof.

Guidelines for those with infants

Most aircraft, lap children are not allowed to seat in the first or second row.

For infant having health issues, requiring for incubator or life support system, will not be accepted for travel and will be denied boarding out rightly.

Only one lap child is allowed for each customer.





Traveling With Children


What other transportation company refers to as children is different from what airlines generally considers to be children for airlines, it’s generally consider a “child” to be from 2years to 11years. Airlines consider s anyone who range within this bracket a child and must therefore purchase their own ticket and occupy their own seat because they are not to be lapped.
For some domestic flights children fair are usually same as adult fair, depending on the destination and airline.
Boarding internationally child air fares are giving 25% discount to pay 75% of the full fare.
Do my kids need any form of identity to travel?
For those traveling domestically you will not be asked to tender any form of identity as far as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Traveling International flight from Nigeria, you will need a child passport together with the parent or guidance details and he/her paper work must be complete, please not that when flying with a child always go along with he/her birth certificate as proof to avoid disappointment.
Children baggage allowance.


Children from 2years to 11years purchase their own ticket because they are given their own seat; children from the above age are not to be lapped on, therefore are subjected to the same services rendered to adult. General baggage allowance for both child and adult are 7kg for carry–on and 2pcs of 23kg each for checked baggage.
What entertainment options are there for kids?


TV shows.

Music.

Coloring pencils.

Travel games.

Take home Toys after landing.


Food options for children on-board
For Domestic airline

Snack.
Juice soft drink.
Cookies.

For international airline you can request for child's meal when making booking to indicate whatever treat you want.
It’s of great impotence that all travelers brings a bottle of water to keep hydrated while flying even though it is usually offered on-board.
