India: Tips for Flying with Babies (Your Infant’s First Flight)

By Team WeReview / 5 years ago —  Travel

Our little baby first flew when he was 2.5 months old — and boy, were we anxious! We had so many questions and could find no answers. Since then our little man has done more than 8 return flights — the longest being around 13 hours and the average length being around 3 hours. Hence, here are some tips for travelling with your baby!

At the airport

Does your baby require a ticket?

Yes, he does! While infants under the age of 2 can travel for free, you will have to buy a ticket for them and pay the related taxes. Usually this works out to be around Rs 1000 – Rs 1500 for a domestic flight.

What identification is required for your baby to enter the airport?

You need to show some form of government-approved identification for your baby to be allowed into the airport. Usually this is a birth certificate or passport.

Are strollers allowed on flight? Does it count as part of your 15 kg weight limit?

Yes, strollers or prams are allowed on flights. They do NOT count as part of your 15 kg limit. You have the option of either checking in the stroller with your luggage. Or you can carry it till the plane — leaving it at the gate when you board. Your stroller needs to be collapsible though.

If you choose to carry it to the gate, you will have to put the stroller through security (which can be cumbersome if you are travelling alone). The scanning machines aren’t the easiest to put a large stroller through when you are also carrying your baby and diaper bag / laptop bag. And if you have the misfortune of getting those horrible buses to the plane, you will have to carry your stroller onto that as well.

You will get your stroller back either on the luggage carousel, or some airlines give it to you as soon as you deboard.

Tips on strollers: We have 2 – Graco which is the sturdier but heavier one, and R for Rabbit which is very flimsy but light and easy to carry around. For Indian roads, you need sturdy strollers for sure!

Diaper changes

Baby changing rooms

Most domestic airports in major metros now have dedicated baby changing rooms. This is true for Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore both in the departure and arrival areas. Most bathrooms also have a diaper changing table (the one that flips open). However, I would recommend locating the baby changing room as it far more convenient and comfortable for your baby.

The baby changing room generally has a washbasin and two small enclosures for either nursing your baby or doing diaper changes. The enclosures have 1 chair and a small padded table. It is best to change your baby before the flight.

Diaper changes on flights

It is not recommended to change your baby on the flight as it will be very cramped. Usually, most planes have 1 bathroom that has a diaper changing table. This folds out on top of the pot area. You will have to figure out where to put your wet wipes, diapers, diaper rash cream. It will be very difficult to change your baby here alone — it is best your partner sets up the changing table before you go in. Once you’re done, s/he can pack up.  It is like an army operation!

Baby poopoo on flights

For our first 3 flights or so, Baby would invariably poop on the flight and would immediately want a diaper change. Sigh. I think it has something to do with pressure.

Milk Matters

If you are nursing, it is best to carry a dupatta to cover yourself so that you can nurse on flight. The baby changing rooms are also intended for nursing mothers. Do not, however, hog a bathroom for 15 – 20 minutes on a flight and nurse your baby. We were on a plane where a mother did that once and she received irate looks from co-passengers.

Bottle feeding (pumped milk)

It is possible to carry breast milk quite easily on flights in India. It does not even have to be frozen. On my first flight, I carried 4 x 150 ml of milk both unfrozen and frozen in one of those cooler bags. You can tell the CISF guys at security that it is “baby ka doodh” and they don’t object.

On international flights, it is probably different so please check.

Bottle feeding (formula)

It is also very easy to carry formula milk on flights. I have been happily carrying a thermos of hot water (500 ml) plus a baby’s bottle of drinking water (300 ml) on all flights. No one objects in India.

On international flights, they are more strict about the 100 ml restriction on liquids. Here it is best you empty out your bottles prior to security. Once you’ve crossed security you can easily ask any of the restaurants for some hot water to refill your thermos.

On the flight

Take off and landing

Before taking off, the air hostess will come and tell you to feed the baby during take off and landing. This is not always true. If your baby is comfortable or asleep, don’t wake him or her up and force him to nurse. They recommend this so that the air pressure on flights doesn’t bother your baby. However, nowadays planes are pressurised quite comfortably.

Infant seat belts

Some airlines provide an infant seat belt that attaches to your own seat belt (Jet / Vistara). Other airlines, like Indigo, ask you to hold onto your baby.

There are very few Indian flights that have bassinets. This is true for all the budget airlines like Indigo, GoAir, Spicejet, so don’t even bother asking.

International flights have bassinets but they are tiny so don’t expect your baby to fit in after the age of 9 months or so. Also, when there is turbulence, you will have to pick up your baby and bring her to your lap.

Buying a child seat for your infant (seated on a car seat)

If you are going on a long-haul international flight, I would recommend buying a separate child seat for your infant. You can then put your car seat on the seat and have your child sit / sleep comfortably. This will also give you some rest. Your car seat needs to be approved for flights. The seat will have a tag somewhere that says this. You will have to show this to the air hostess. Most air hostesses, especially in India, are not aware of this. So please discuss it with the airlines prior to travel and inform the check in counter.

Sources of discomfort

Sources of discomfort (crying babies) are usually one of the following:

Your baby may find it difficult to burp on the flight, so make sure you pat him properly. His ears may also be feeling the pressure, so nursing / feeding could help.

Check the diaper. Babies can poopoo all of a sudden. Or the diaper could be wetter than normal.

Too hot or cold

Planes are usually too hot or too cold, so make sure that this is not the case for your baby.

Planes are notoriously boring for babies. There really isn’t much to do and there is no rollicking rhythm of a moving car. Make sure you take your baby on walks. Our guy loved to entertain himself by playing with those seated around him.

Traveling with Infants: 15 Tips to Follow on Flights to India

Are you planning on traveling with your little one? You should be careful will the stuff that you carry along when traveling with your baby.

However, you cannot be sure about what happens during the flight, but planning ahead can help in avoiding hassle during your flights to India.

Before you book flights, you should know the exact age permitted for your baby. Check this:

What is the best age to travel with an infant?

However, there is no official recommendation regarding the infant’s age, but you should know that there is a huge difference between the immune system of you and your baby.

When you travel with kids for an international flight, know that the air in the flight is recirculated one.

This might even contain germs, bacteria, and viruses, so maintaining the safety of your baby can become on your round trip flights to India .

Also, airlines like United Airlines have fixed an age limit that is seven weeks before the baby can travel in the flight.

Moreover, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines will not permit infants less than seven weeks without a written recommendation from the doctor.

So, it is advised to ask for assistance from the pediatrician and know about the infant policies of various Airlines before  booking flights to Mumbai .

After you know a safe age of traveling with your baby, check the following tips that might help:

1. Make a Checklist

Creating a list of items that you should carry along is a must. This will prevent you from forgetting essential items during your flights.

Also, make sure that you start packing in advance so that you have plenty of time to pack your baby stuff.

Here is a general list of items that you cannot miss on your flights:

• Wipes and diapers
• Receiving blankets
• Extra pair of clothes
• Feeding Bottles
• Toys and rattles
• Baby-Friendly Snacks
• Ziploc bags

2. Book Direct Flights or Long Layovers

When you are traveling with a kid, try and make the number of connecting flights to the minimum. Changing seats and adjusting to a newer one can be quite a task for your infant.

And not only this, but landing and taking off each time also comes with some extra pressure on your baby’s ears, so it will be better if you choose direct flights to India rather than multiple connecting flights .

Also, you will not like to run around the airports with diaper bags and car seats.

Board a flight, adjust the baby stuff carefully, and land at your desired destination in one go. It is that simple.

3. Carefully decide your Check-ins and Carry-on

Before you board your flights to Mumbai ,  you should know what items you could carry in your check-in baggage and the carry-on.

For this, you can contact your airlines and know the list of permitted items.

Any last-minute change in the baggage at the security check can lead to a mess, especially when you are traveling with a baby.

Also, keep the stuff handy that your baby might require during the course of your journey.

4. Visit Restrooms Before the Flight

It is advised that you board the airplane with a dried diaper. So, one must hit the restrooms one last time before the final boarding.

As your journey on   flights from the USA to India   is going to be a long one, you should make sure that your baby does not feel irritated.

When you freshen up your baby in the restrooms, you surely avoid one less trip to the airplane lavatory.

5. Take Pre-Boardings

Some people intentionally avoid getting into the airplane before the flight-scheduled departure timings.

This is because they think, in this way, they will have to spend less time with their toddler on the flights.

But, it is always advisable to settle down before anyone else when you are traveling with a toddler.

Already, traveling with a child is no less struggle, so try not to increase it by buckling up your kids before anyone else is on board.

6. Preferable Buy a Separate Seat for your Child

You might be aware that when you book international flights to India from the USA with a toddler who is less than two, your child can travel on your lap for free.

However, it would be better if you get a separate seat reserved for them to avoid unnecessary trouble.

This is safe as well as allows the adult to relax during a no-haul international flight . 

7. Keep the Baby Buckled

You will be pleased to know that when you travel with your baby buckled in the car seat on the airplane; you can be sure that he is safe and comfortable.

Also, in case of unexpected turbulence, you need not worry about your baby feeling uncomfortable or falling from your lap.

As you cannot restrict the movement of your baby otherwise, keeping them buckled is the best way to keep them as safe as possible.

8. Carry Extra Pair of Clothes for you as well as your Baby

You will surely not miss packing an extra pair of clothes for your baby on their flights.

It is because you already know that your baby can blow-out anytime in the middle of the flight. But what about yourself?

When you are traveling with your baby , there are equal chances that your clothes also get spoilt. So, to avoid any inconvenience in the mid-flight, it would be better if you have your pair of clothing handy.

It would be better if you add a compact pair of the outfit in the carry-on for convenience.

9. Pack a Lot of Snacks and Milk

Your baby will feel irritated in the middle of the flight for nothing. And, this is the time when packing a lot of snacks will help. These will keep your baby engaged, and with his tummy full, you can avoid less mess on your flights to India.

Also, it is advised to feed your baby one last time before the takeoff.

Moreover, you can even plan to make your baby fall asleep. This will help them adjust better, and you can also settle down things in a better way.

10. Keep Your Baby Engaged

You might have experienced this once in your flight, that the baby on the seat by your side is trying to climb the seat ahead.

You definitely do not want your baby to follow the same. So, when you are packing the stuff for your baby, try and pack their soft toys along.

These will not only keep them engaged, but will also reduce your stress from preventing them from falling.

11. Deal with Strangers

Although you have been trying hard to ease your baby in the plane, you cannot entirely avoid and stop him from crying.

And you will surely come across people who feel irritated with your baby’s loud cry.

The best you can do in such instances is to avoid the haters and strangers.

Try dealing with the baby in every possible way and make them feel comfortable without worrying about strangers.

12. Baby Medications

Your baby might start to feel sick during the journey. Carryover the counter medications along with prescriptions to avoid your baby from falling seriously ill during the journey.

Also, you should know the TSA liquid limits before packing such medicines.

Also, when you carry these medicines on flights from the USA to India ,  you should keep them in their original packing so that they can be identified easily.

13. Prepare Baby for Take-Offs and Landings

You already know that there is a sudden change in the pressure of the cabins during taking off and landing of the flights.

This change in the pressure can lead to paining ears, and your baby will feel disturbed. You should ask your baby to chew chewing gum during such instances.

Also, if your baby is too young to chew, handing him a bottle of pumped breast milk can help.

Moreover, you should be aware that carrying breast milk after booking your  airline flight tickets   is exempted from the 3.4-ounce liquid rule.

Moreover, if your baby is not interested in taking bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups can also serve the same purpose.

14. Dress them Comfortable

This is yet another way to ensure a safe and comfortable flight journey for your baby. When you dress them comfortably, they feel less irritated automatically.

Also, as your flights to India is going to be a long one, sitting in the same positions with irritating clothes can be a trouble for your baby’s soft skin. It is better to choose soft fabric for a happy baby.

15. Plan Ahead and Relax

When you are traveling with your baby, you can forget what to carry and what to avoid when it is a last-minute packing. And when you plan ahead, you have enough time to assemble all the necessary items well before time.

You can never be sure of smooth travel experience when traveling with an infant. However, being prepared can be very useful to avoid any mess.

This will not only give you a feeling of relaxation for your journey, but you will also feel confident to handle any circumstances. Follow the tips mentioned above and reach your destination fresh and energetic.

• Flying With An Infant? Here Are The...

Explainer Flying With An Infant? Here Are The Rules You Must Know

Recently, an infant was abandoned at a tel aviv airport by the parents after they failed to buy a ticket for the child..

In a recent incident at Tel Aviv airport in Israel, a couple proceeded towards security and boarding after leaving their infant at the check-in counter.

Confusion about purchase of airline tickets for the infant, and an argument that followed, seem to have resulted in this incident. The airport security retrieved the passengers and handed over the infant to them.

While all seems to have ended well in this case, traveling with a child or infant on an airline may require extra fees, tickets, or preparations.

Here’s a guide for both domestic and international travel.

Can infants travel on domestic airlines?

Yes, they can. Infants up to seven days of age need medical authorisation to fly.

How do airlines define ‘infant’?

A child above seven days of age and before his/her second birthday is called an infant.

How do airlines classify children?

Any traveller who has crossed his/her second birthday and below the age of 12 is classified as a child.

What are the ticket rules for infants?

Infants up to the age of two can only travel accompanied by an adult on their lap. The ticket prices are roughly 10 per cent of the economy fare provided they don’t occupy a seat. With some airlines, a flat price of Rs 1,000 (for Air India),

Rs 1,500 (for GoFirst and Indigo) and Rs 1,750 (for SpiceJet) is charged.

Infants need to have a valid ID card to avail the special price tickets. Only one infant per adult is allowed. Infants are not allotted an extra seat and will be seated on the adult’s lap. They are also not allowed to be seated in the emergency exit rows.

Airlines also require you to mention that you are traveling with an infant at the time of booking. There is a restriction on the number of infants per flight.

What if an infant has crossed his/her second birthday during the return journey?

They will then be classified as a child and a full-fare ticket will have to be bought.

Do infant tickets have baggage allowance?

That depends on the airline. Several domestic airlines don’t include baggage allowance in these tickets while some like Vistara do allow 7 kg baggage for an infant that can be carried as check-in or hand baggage.

What are the ticket rules for children?

For domestic travel, the full fare applies to children over the age of two. No concessions are applicable.

Can children travel unaccompanied on domestic airlines?

Children between the ages of five and 12 can travel as unaccompanied minors. A fee for unaccompanied minors is usually charged by the airline to provide assistance in addition to the full ticket fare. The amount varies based on airlines (for example, it is Rs 2,500 per minor on Vistara Airlines).

Children need to carry a valid photo ID for their travel.

For those above the age of 13 to 18, travel is permitted unaccompanied without a handling charge following validation through the UM Assistance and Handling Waiver Form.

International Travel

Travel for infants and children on international routes varies depending on the airline and destination. Here are some points to note.

- For instance, Air Asia does not allow unaccompanied minors below the age of 12 on board its international flights.

- Fares levied for infants and children are variable, too. Air India charges 75 percent of its economy fare for children.

- Infants may not require a separate ticket, but an infant fee is levied.

- Most airlines include baggage of up to 7 kgs with infant fares.

- Photo ID cards are mandatory to avail infant or child fare.

- If a child is traveling accompanied by adults other than their parents or has a different surname, a consent form/ affidavit may need to be carried.

- Seating in emergency exit rows for both adults with infants and children is not allowed.

- There is a restriction on the number of infants per flight, so you might have to book early.

For both domestic and international travel, it is recommended that you refer to the airline and destination’s specific guidelines on their official websites or call customer care.

If your infant is between 7 days and 2 years of age, they require valid ID.

If your children are between the ages of 2 and 5, they will have to be accompanied at all times.

If your children are between the ages of 5 and 12, they are permitted to travel as unaccompanied minors. Under our Vistara Youngstar service for Unaccompanied Minors, they will be escorted by specially trained airline staff. We ensure assistance during all processes, and ensure their safety, comfort and privacy in-flight on their very own adventure. Your children will then be handed over at the destination to the authorized individual specified in the UM form. A fee of INR 2500/- will be charged for each unaccompanied minor.

For the United Arab Emirates(UAE), children aged between 5-18 years are regarded as Unaccompanied Minors (UM).

Parents/guardians have to ensure that all Unaccompanied Minor (UM) customers are carrying the correct photo identification, which is mandatory for travel.

If your children are between the ages of 12 and 18, they may travel as young customers once an adult has waived unaccompanied minor handling. This involves validation through “UM Assistance and Handling Waiver Form”. However, should you find the need for UM handling assistance, we will be glad to extend help.

Please keep in mind that young customers will not be considered as escorts for minors aged between 5 and 12 years.
