A few of these facilities that can be availed are as follows:
- Meals: Though most of the airlines offer food but if you are travelling with an infant, ask beforehand about what they serve. This will help you prepare for your child in advance, thereby making you and your child’s travel comfortable.
- Carrycots: These make the travel for babies convenient and comfortable. You can try and get your airlines to make one available for you but since they all have a very few of them, it’s better to inform the airlines in advance. You can also inform the airlines while you make your flight reservations, if you want to carry your own carrycot. The only thing that you would need to keep in mind is that the cot should fit in the seat. The airline will always be ready to provide assistance especially if you inform them well in advance.
- Baby's Milk: Though milk formula and water are all allowed in the flight, at times there might arise a situation where the airline crew would want to open and taste it. This is done for security purpose and you should always cooperate with it. Baby’s milk bottle will be allowed inside the aircraft but remember to carry only the amount that will be required. Keep your airline crew informed and you’ll have no trouble passing through swiftly from the airport gate to your aircraft. Many a times, if it is possible, you’ll get assistance all throughout if you are travelling with a baby, thereby making you very comfortable.
- Baby's Changing: Ask and read around the airport, you’ll notice separate areas that are allotted for babies. You can take care of all the requirements at these areas which will be present before as well as after the security check desks.
