Qatar Airways' infant policy
Qatar Airways provides a dedicated infant policy to ensure that babies and toddlers are comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their flight. Parents traveling with infants can enjoy various services and amenities designed specifically for young children.
Key Features of Qatar Airways' Infant Policy:
- Eligibility: Infants are defined as children under the age of 2 years. Children aged 2 and above must have their own seat.
- Infant Fare: Infants are usually not required to pay full adult fare. They typically pay a percentage of the adult ticket fare (usually 10% of the standard adult fare) and do not get their own seat unless an additional seat is purchased. Infants traveling on international flights must often pay taxes and fees, regardless of whether they occupy a seat.
- Infant Baggage Allowance: Infants are usually allowed one checked bag (around 10-12 kg) and one carry-on item, such as a diaper bag. The allowance may vary depending on the destination, so passengers should refer to Qatar Airways' baggage policy for specific details.
- Bassinet Service: Qatar Airways offers free bassinet service for infants traveling on long-haul flights. Bassinets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and must be requested when booking your flight with Qatar Airways reservations. Bassinets are generally available for infants up to 9 months old, depending on their weight and height.
- In-Flight Care: Cabin crew will ensure that infants and toddlers are well cared for during the flight. Parents are encouraged to bring baby food, diapers, and other necessary items to keep their infants comfortable. For longer flights, meals and baby formula can be pre-ordered to accommodate the needs of young children.
- Infant Meals and Comfort Items: Qatar Airways offers baby-friendly meals and a range of baby care products on request, including baby food, milk, and blankets. Parents are also welcome to bring their own baby food, formula, and other baby items on board.
- Stroller Policy: Strollers or prams can be checked in at the gate before boarding. Parents can use the stroller up to the boarding gate and retrieve it after disembarking.
- Infant Ticketing: When booking an infant ticket, the infant fare must be selected during the booking process on the Qatar Airways website or through Qatar Airways reservations.
