We want to help make your flight smooth and comfortable for your little ones. Find out some tips and resources to help make your trip as enjoyable as possible!
- Bring a well-stocked carry-on bag, including diapers, wipes, bottles, snacks, a sippy cup, a book or two, and some quiet toys. If the child is old enough, download a couple of educational videos onto an iPad. This is a great attention-holder.
- If you’re bringing electronics for your kids, make sure they are charged and ready to go before your flight.
- Comforting toys are great but keep other passengers in mind. Leave the noisy toys at home.
- More leg room for you and extra space for toys is always a good thing on a flight with kids. Our stretch seating is a great way to get the space you need.
- Babies and young children do not know how to clear their ears to reduce the pressure during takeoff and landing so unless your child is asleep, you will need to help them. We suggest a bottle for infants and gum or hard candy for older kids.
- We offer snacks, and beverages for sale on most flights (something to consider if the toys aren’t working or you run out of snacks)!
- If you opt for packing your own snacks, bring along a Ziploc bag for wrappers and other garbage. This will come in handy throughout your flight with kids.
Safety and Policies
We know you want to make your child’s trip easy and safe. There are some federal rules we need to follow to ensure the safety of infants and children.
- Infants can travel for free, sitting on your lap from seven days old up to his/her second birthday. Please Note: A birth certificate may be requested for age verification purposes if the infants’ age appears questionable.
- Lap children may not sit in any seat that has an airbag seat belt installed which includes row 1 on most aircrafts.
- Two adults with two lap children cannot sit in the same side of a row because there are only four oxygen masks per every three seats.
- Only one child is allowed per adult lap. If you are traveling with two infants and you are the only adult in your party, you will need to purchase a ticket for them and have an approved car seat for the second child.
- You may choose to purchase your little one his/her own seat and use an approved car seat on the plane, this is the safest way, if you can, we encourage you to do so. Our seat widths vary depending on the size of the aircraft. Minimum seat widths on the A319 and A320 are 17.4” and on our A321 minimum seat widths are 16.5”.
- Car seats cannot be placed in emergency exit rows, in the rows directly in front of or behind emergency exit rows, or in the very first row. We also suggest placing car seats in window seats so they do not impede access to the aisle by other passengers.
- If you’re bringing a stroller, you can take it to the gate but it must be checked from there.
- We fully support a woman’s right to breastfeed on our flights. Breast pumps are also welcome aboard.
- We consider a breast pump to be a medical device. View the Frontier medical device policy under Sports Equipment and Special Items.
