Travelling with an infant

If you’re traveling with your baby, you can enjoy the discounted ticket advantages offered for infant passengers! To be considered an infant passenger, babies must be at least seven days old and under two years old. For the most comfortable travel experience with your baby, please review the guidelines on traveling with an infant – before, during and after the flight.

General information

  • Infant passengers between two and seven days old are permitted on the flight if the parent or legal guardian submits a medical report stating that “There is no harm in traveling by plane”. Turkish Airlines does not permit newborn infants or infants under two days old on its flights.
  • Infant passengers must travel with a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old. There must be at least one adult companion per infant passenger. The infant passenger must be seated on the lap of their companion and fastened with a special baby belt. Adult and infant passengers must have their own flight documents (passport, ID, ticket, etc.).
  • A parent or adult aged 18 or over may accompany up to one infant on a flight. If the adult passenger wishes to travel with more than one infant, the first infant passenger will be provided with an infant ticket and travel on the adult companion’s lap. The second infant passenger is provided with a child ticket in a separate seat for a fee. A stroller or child seat must be provided by the adult passenger so that the second infant passenger can be secured in the seat with a seat belt.
  • Adult companions may bring their own 40x40 cm car-type baby stroller and request a seat for their infant.
  • Baby strollers can be installed only in the front separators in the Economy and Business class sections of our aircraft types that have extra legroom seats. Extra legroom seats can be purchased in advance of the flight.
  • If seat is requested for an infant passenger, a discounted child ticket will be issued for the infant passenger and there will be no additional charge for the stroller.

Traveling with an infant seat onboard

You can have a comfortable flight with your baby or child by following the rules for using infant seats on aircraft. Learn more

Passengers may bring fold-up bassinets, car-type infant seats or infant harnesses (papoose-style baby carriers) onboard, subject to certain restrictions. Car-type infant seats must be used for babies under the age of two; the seat must be no larger than 40x40 cm, must have a fastening belt that fits on the aircraft cabin seat, and must be attached to the seat at all times during the flight and prevented from tilting forward. When the seatbelt warning lights are illuminated, the car-type infant seat must be in the upright position. When not in use, the infant seat must be secured.

Infant Carrier/Car-Type Infant Seat

1) In order to fit on the cabin seat, the infant carrier/seat must be no larger than 40x40 cm.

2) The infant carrier/car-type seat must fit on the passenger seat (not on the seat arm) and be secured with the seat belt according to the manufacturer's instructions at all stages of the flight.

If an infant carrier/car-type seat is to be used throughout the flight that requires seat belts to be fastened, the child/infant's carrycot/car type stroller must be fastened with its own seat belts and the seat back must be upright.

Cabin Crew Considerations for Infant Seat Placement: - Infant seats should not interfere with passenger evacuation.

- It cannot be placed in an emergency exit row (all doors and windows).

- It must be placed in the seat next to the parent, preferably the window seat.

- It should not be placed in the aisle seat.

- In wide-body aircraft, the infant seat can be placed in the three- and four-seat middle rows, provided it is not in an aisle seat.

- The infant seat must not impede the movement of the seat in front.

- It must fit between the armrests of the passenger seat.

- The seat must be kept upright during takeoff and landing.

- Infants should be positioned in bassinets and papooses so that they are facing the aircraft tail; in car-type infant seats, the baby should be facing the front of the aircraft.
