Baggage Guidelines For Infant
The checked baggage weight must not exceed 23 kg on flights to and from the USA and Canada. The weight limit is 10 kg for all other routes or destinations.
One piece of baggage of 5 kg is allowed in the cabin section.
Parents or guardians must ensure the infant has sufficient nappies, clothes, or toys.
One carrycot, car seat, or pushchair is permitted free of charge.
Bassinets
There are no charges for using bassinets at the airport.
The bassinets are made of good quality products that can help carry cots so your child can sleep flat throughout the journey.
One of the airport staff will guide you on whether the bassinet is suitable for your infant or not.
During the flight, the parents can only use a bassinet when their seatbelt is switched off because of some safety reasons.
In case the seatbelt sign is on, you are allowed to keep your child on your lap with an approved car seat or child seat belt.
If there is a non-availability of the bassinets, then you are required to keep your infant on your lap until arrival.
