How to Add a Child to Emirates Flight?

Children between the age of 5 and 11 years will need an unaccompanied minor service. You can request this service at the time of booking. But, they will still have to be booked on a reservation with adult fare. In this Flyostudio blog, we will give you a 360-degree view of Emirates infant policy so that you know how to manage travelling with children below 5 years.

Can you Add an Infant to a Flight after Booking Emirates?

Yes, you can add an infant to a flight after booking Emirates also. The airline can be called at +1-800-777-3999 for more information on adding infants. Discounted tickets are available for infants between 0-1 years. Infants can travel on the lap of a caretaker or guardian. Only infants who are no less than 7 days old are allowed to travel on an Emirates flight. You cannot add more than one infant on a single reservation. Here are some ways Emirates infant travel is much more convenient than other airlines.

• You can bring your own car seat.
• A seat extension belt will be provided for the child.
• You can also request a bassinet. 

As bassinets are limited in supply, you will have to book an infant seat to get the bassinet service. Emirates will be available at +1-800-777-3999 if you want to know how you can avail a bassinet service. You can also call our Flyostudio executives at +1-844-414-9223 to understand how the airline ensures safe travel for infants.

Does Emirates Charge Infants?

The airline will charge a discounted fare for infants. So, Emirates infant travel cost is manageable. But a normal child’s seat will not entitle you to bassinets. Bassinets are made available only if a passenger has booked an infant seat. Passengers should know that bassinets may not be available on all flights and they are limited in number. Here are certain things you should remember about child bassinets.

• In First Class, our baby bassinets are 63.5 cm long and 28 cm wide.
• Baby bassinets are 74.93 long x 33.03 cm wide x 16.51 cm deep in Business Class and Economy Class.

Does Emirates allow Baby Strollers?

Emirates will allow baby strollers only if they can be safely stowed in the overhead locker. The airline also allows you to bring certain other devices meant for children. You must contact the nearest Emirates contact center at least 48 hours before travel. This is because the devices you are carrying may not be approved for the cabin or the seat locations. Here is a look at the approved devices according to Emirates infant travel policy.

• Cares and Special Cares - These devices are not permitted in the First Class.
• Crelling and Houdini Harness Model 27 - You may not be allowed to travel with these devices on Business and First Class.
• Mero TravelChair - Business and First Class will not be allowed to travel with this device.
• Leckey Firefly GoTo Seat Support - This device is not permitted in Business and First class.
