Traveling with children

    reisen-mit-kindern-gate

    Before you start your journey, find out about the necessary identification documents for your child, such as a passport, child ID card or ID card. Which documents are required varies from country to country.

    Information

    Your child is traveling with friends, relatives or just one parent? In this case a written declaration of consent from the other parent or both parents is required.

    Important information about traveling with babies or small children

    Please note: Each airline has its own regulations regarding the transportation of baby carriages. You should therefore check directly with your airline in advance. 

     

    Carriage to the gate

    In most cases, you can take your baby carriage to the gate or even to the aircraft. There it will be collected by ground staff and transported in the cargo hold. After landing, you will receive it back either directly at the aircraft or at the bulky baggage carousel.

     

    Costs and registration

    One foldable baby carriage per child is usually free of charge. It should be registered at the time of booking or at the latest at check-in.

     

    Compact buggies

    Some airlines allow particularly small, foldable buggies as hand baggage in the cabin, provided they meet the applicable dimensional requirements.

     

    Checking in at the bulky baggage counter

    Alternatively, the baby carriage can be checked in at the bulky baggage counter at check-in. This option is particularly useful for larger baby carriages or if you can do without them in the terminal.

    Baby food (jars, milk and porridge) can be carried in hand luggage. The otherwise applicable maximum quantities of 100ml may also be exceeded and the products do not have to be stowed in a 1 liter plastic bag. Caution: The quantities carried should only be sufficient for the planned travel time, so you can avoid complications at the security check.

    Necessary medication can also be carried in hand luggage.
