What Is British Airways Infant Policy?

British Airways’ infant policy allows infants under 2 years old to travel on an adult's lap or in their own seat, depending on the ticket purchased. For lap infants, the airline charges a percentage of the adult fare plus taxes, while infants with their own seat must use an approved car seat. Each adult can only hold one infant on their lap, and if traveling with more than one infant, an additional seat must be purchased. Infants are provided with a special seatbelt that attaches to the adult's seatbelt for safety during the flight. British Airways also offers cots or bassinets on long-haul flights, which must be reserved in advance. The availability of these is on a first-come, first-served basis. For checked luggage, infants on lap fares are allowed a diaper bag, and additional luggage allowances may vary based on fare type. The airline offers a selection of baby food on board, though parents are encouraged to bring any specific items their baby might need.
