Most airlines allow you to travel with a newborn from seven to fourteen days of age<\/strong>, although some require a doctor’s certificate. I waited until Jon\u00e1\u0161 was almost two for his first flight, but you certainly do not need to wait that long. These tips for air travel with infant<\/strong> will help you plan your baby’s first journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before flying so soon after birth, it is a good idea to discuss the trip with your paediatrician, who can assess your baby’s health<\/strong>. Do not forget the paperwork either: even a one-week-old newborn needs their own passport for international travel. Without one, check-in staff are unlikely to let you board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, I have put together the detailed age rules of selected airlines<\/strong> along with doctors’ recommendations. You will also find advice on preparing for long flights with a very young baby and what not to forget when planning your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
