Baggage |
Practicalities Getting There Air Baggage A child without a seat is not entitled to a standard baggage allowance. What is permitted will vary from airline to airline but is generally 10kg or one piece of baggage. If you travel heavy, this will be a problem. You may be allowed an umbrella fold buggy in addition, and possibly a carry on bag with items like infant food and nappies for use in flight, in addition to the normal adult baggage allowance. It would be wise to double check in advance, especially on a charter or no-frills flight, where authorisation in writing would be wise. Forwarding BaggageIf you are taking a lot of luggage you can send it unaccompanied. This may be possible with the more sophisticated scheduled airlines, or you can use a tailored service.
