Booking flight tickets for children and infants requires extra attention, especially when booking online. Depending on the child’s age, there are specific rules for seating, fare, required documents, and support services. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you book flight tickets online for children and infants easily and correctly, using platforms like Heyotrip.

1. Identify the child’s age at the time of travel

• Infants: Under 2 years old on the date of travel
• Children: From 2 to under 12 years old
• 12 years and above: Considered adults in most fare systems

👉 Accurately entering age helps the system apply the correct fare and seat policy.

2. Select your journey and number of passengers

• When selecting passengers, make sure to enter the exact number of adults, children, and infants.
• One adult is allowed to accompany only one infant. If traveling with more than one infant, an additional adult is required.

3. Enter accurate passenger details

For children and infants, be sure to provide:

• Full name as shown on the birth certificate or passport
• Correct date of birth
• Nationality and travel documents (passport/visa if flying internationally)

✅ Incorrect or incomplete information may result in boarding denial.

4. Choose seating and additional services

• If traveling with children, try to select seats by the window or mid-cabin where turbulence is minimal.
• Some airlines offer infant bassinets for front-row seats these must be requested in advance.
• You can also request special child meals, especially for long-haul flights.

5. Check the airline’s child travel policy

• Each airline has its own rules regarding infant fares, baggage allowance, stroller policies, and required documents.
• On Heyotrip, these details are available before you confirm your booking.

6. Review and complete payment

• Double-check all passenger details and airline policies before payment.
• Once your booking is successful, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your booking reference (PNR).

7. Prepare necessary travel documents

• For domestic flights: Children may need a birth certificate or notarized copy
• For international flights: Children need a valid passport and visa (if required)
