What is the earliest you can fly with an infant?

Answer 1

i just had to have this question answered to fly with a newborn across the US.

(you can travel when you're pregnant but usually not past the beginning of your third trimester)

the infant, usually, must be at least 2 weeks old (airlines differ so check with them first, but generally speaking it's two weeks and older). any younger than that requires a physical and a physician's written consent. good rule of thumb: get a physician's written consent if the child is under 1 month.

Answer 2

Find your airline's website in the FWK airline directory. Then search for information about flying with an infant or small child. What you find (or don't find) will tell you a great deal about how helpful they will be when you fly.

Check that your airline allows you to pre-book baby bassinet (sky cot) before the day of travel - not all will - Air NZ only allows pre-booking for infants of 8 months and less, otherwise you must wait until check-in to see if a bassinet is available

Answer 3

After 3 months you can fly with an infant.

Answer 4

During pregnancy! My mother and father traveled a lot because he was in the Army. I was on a plane before I was even born! Of course, if you think that your child will be unconfortable than you should wait. I believe, if the child is under two years you will be holding him/her during the ride and a ticket is not needed. Call the airline before hand, though, because ages may vary. Good Luck and nice travels!
