Traveling with 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.
