Traveling through a flight with a kid is quite challenging because of their limited maturity and the amount of care and handling they require. Thai Airways offers a flexible and suitable kid travel policy that ensures their utmost convenience and comfort. Refer to the points below to learn about the essential components of their child's travel guidelines. Please visit the concerned airline's website for a detailed view of their policy.

  • Passengers are required to inform the airline about their children's travel beforehand so they can make appropriate arrangements for facilities and seating.
  • You can carry a bassinet for children under six months old. The bassinet should weigh no less than 10 kg and not exceed 67 cm in length.
  • An FAA-approved car seat can be used for children less than two years of age. These seats can be used on the normal paid seat for a child fare.
  • To ensure their safety, babies and toddlers must be held in the arms of their parents or accompanying adults during takeoff and landing.
  • The concerned airline suggests consulting a physician before the flight travel for children with chronic diseases because they are at a higher risk of hypoxia during the flight.

What is the minimum age to fly?

Knowing the age allowance for infant travel is equally crucial as learning about the respective airline's child travel policy. Thai Airways does not allow air travel to infants during their first week of life because the kid is still adjusting to life outside the uterus and to confirm that it is healthy and free of congenital disabilities. Infants aged seven days and are healthy are allowed to travel with the concerned airline with an adult companion/passenger.

What age do kids pay for flights?

According to Thai Airways guidelines, children between the ages of 2 and 11 are required to pay for their flight travel to secure a seat on the respective airline's flight. Infants below two years may or may not be charged a travel fee. However, the ticket cost will be massively cheaper because these infants can sit on the lap of their parents or accompanying adults and do not require a seat.
