Reservation
Your baby travels on your lap:
The baby does not have a seat but must still be booked on the flight to be included in the passenger list. Onboard, they will be provided with a life vest and an appropriately sized safety belt.
Your baby travels in a seat next to you:
To do this, Air Moana offers you two options:
-
Option 1: Book a "baby occupying a seat" ticket and place your baby in the seat. They must be able to sit up unaided. Note: During the phases of takeoff, landing, and in case of turbulence, your baby must sit on your lap.
-
Option 2: Book a "baby occupying a seat" ticket and place your baby in an airplane-approved car seat.
Note: During the phases of takeoff, landing, and in case of turbulence, your baby must sit on your lap.
To ensure their safety and optimize their comfort, the car seat must meet the following criteria:
-Be approved for both car and airplane use according to European, North American, or Australian/New Zealand standards, etc. (see examples of certification stickers below) :
- Be in good condition and show no signs of damage,
-Fit within the width and depth dimensions of the airplane seat,
- Be equipped with safety harnesses.
