A hanging baby cot, better known as an airplane bassinet, is a lifesaver on long flights, but airlines never guarantee it automatically<\/strong>. It attaches to the bulkhead wall in the front rows, and every plane carries only a limited number of them, so parents have to actively request one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you can use one is limited by strict weight and length rules, which usually hover around ten kilograms and seventy centimetres<\/strong>. If you mostly fly around Europe with budget carriers like Ryanair or Wizz Air, you won’t find a bassinet on board at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve put together a guide on how and when to request a bassinet<\/strong> so you have the best possible chance of getting one. You’ll also learn the exact differences between airlines and what age a bassinet actually makes sense for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
