Free Guide Compares Baby Flying Policies Across 13 Major Airlines

LONDON - March 31, 2026 - PRLog -- Every airline sets its own rules for families travelling with babies, and keeping track of the differences can be overwhelming. Parents planning a flight often discover conflicting information scattered across multiple airline websites, with policies on infant fees, pushchairs, bassinets, and formula allowances varying significantly from one carrier to the next.

BabyTravel UK, an independent travel resource for UK parents, has published a detailed side-by-side comparison bringing together the infant and baby policies of 13 major airlines in one free reference guide.

The airlines covered are Ryanair, easyJet, British Airways, Jet2, TUI Airways, Wizz Air, Vueling, TAP Air Portugal, KLM, Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Emirates, and Turkish Airlines. For each carrier, the comparison covers infant lap seat costs, pushchair and stroller gate-check rules, bassinet and skycot availability, car seat policies for purchased seats, formula and breast milk liquid exemptions at security, and whether nappy bags count toward hand luggage allowances.

The research highlights notable disparities between airlines. Infant lap seat pricing ranges from free to more than £30 per flight sector. Some carriers allow compact strollers in the cabin while others require all pushchairs to be gate-checked regardless of size. Bassinet availability is often limited to specific aircraft types and routes, with some airlines requiring advance booking while others allocate them at the gate.

The full comparison is free at https://babytraveluk.co.uk/airline-baby-policies-compared and requires no registration. The page is date-stamped and updated regularly as airlines adjust their policies.

Parents can also use the site's free Stroller Airline Size Checker at https://babytraveluk.co.uk/stroller-airline-checker to instantly verify whether their pushchair model meets their chosen airline's cabin dimensions.
