Know before you go
Important forms you need for travel
- If your child is traveling internationally with only one parent (or another adult), you may need a minor travel consent form.
- Children 5-14 years may travel as unaccompanied minors. Review unaccompanied minor details and form.
Lap infants
- A child can travel as a lap infant from 3 days old until the day they turn 2 years old.
- There’s no charge for lap infants (taxes may be due outside the U.S.) but you will be asked for proof of age.
- Proof of age examples include a birth certificate, passport or immunization record.
- If you’re traveling with a lap infant, you can bring aboard a diaper bag in addition to a permitted carry-on and personal item.
- Learn more about traveling with infants and lap infants including bag allowances, guidelines for safety seats and more.
Strollers and car seats
- Strollers and car seats do not count toward your carry-on or checked bag allowance. You may check them through when you arrive at the airport or gate-check them at the jetbridge.
- A car seat is not required for an infant or child in their own seat, as long as they can sit upright unassisted. You may use your FAA-approved safety seat on board, as long as you’ve purchased a seat for your child.
- Please note car seats and child restraint systems are allowed in Mint seats only on A321 Classic Mint (32S) aircraft. They are not permitted in Mint seats on A321 NEO Mint (3NS) or A321 LR (3NL) aircraft.
Carry-on bags
- All fares include a carry-on bag that fits in the overhead bin (space permitting), along with a personal item that fits under the seat in front of you.
- Breast pumps are considered an assistive device and do not count as a carry-on bag.
