Do I need to reserve a seat for my infant?
Children under 2 years (24 months), are not required to have their own seat. You must, however, inform Emirates that you will be traveling with an infant on your lap.Any person 2 years or older must occupy a seat when travelling on Emirates.
When booking online, a request for a bassinet can be made in the Passenger Details section.
Also, children between 6-36 months may travel on board in car seats as long as a separate seat is purchased for the child. Contact Emirates Reservations to purchase a seat for your infant.
You can also choose to purchase a seat for your infant as long as you have the proper child restraint device. Contact Emirates Reservations to purchase a seat for your infant.
Only one lap child is allowed per adult. If one adult is traveling with more than one infant under 2 years of age, a seat will have to be purchased for each additional infant.
Will I pay for my infant to travel domestically?
Tickets for infants travelling on the parent’s lap or in a bassinet are discounted from the full adult fare. Contact Emirates Reservations for fee information.
