What is Ryanair's policy on the carriage of infants?

Newly born infants up to 7 days inclusive are not accepted on Ryanair flights.

If you are travelling with an infant (aged 8 days to 23 months inclusive ), you can include them on your booking by making an infant reservation on our website or by calling your local reservations centre. Please note - parents travelling with infants can now check-in online and print both parents and infant boarding passes. See below extract of an online infant boarding pass.

For safety and insurance reasons, infants (aged 8 days to 23 months inclusive) must be accompanied by a passenger aged 16 years or above (one infant per adult.) Children aged between 8 days to 23 months inclusive, as of the date of travel cannot travel in their own seat and must sit on an adult's lap (one infant per adult). N.B. Extra seats cannot be purchased for infants.

If the infant reaches the age of 2 years prior to their return journey, they must pay the applicable adult fare, taxes, fees and charges for that part of the journey.

Proof of age is required so please present the infant's valid travel document at the boarding gate.

There is no checked or cabin baggage allowance for infants, however one fully collapsible pushchair per child is carried free of charge and does not need to be prebooked. Additional infant equipment (maximum 20kilos) such as car/booster seats and travel cots may be carried in addition to your personal checked baggage allowance at a separate fee per item/per one way flight. (click here for rate details) No baby/car seats are allowed in the cabin of the aircraft.

Passengers travelling with infants who have checked in online and printed their boarding passes should take any checked baggage (including pushchairs/ infant equipment) to the Airport Bag Drop desk where it will be tagged and sent to the aircraft. The Bag Drop Desks close 40 minutes prior to the scheduled flight departure time.

Passengers who do not bring their printed online boarding passes to the airport will be required to pay a Boarding Pass Reissue Fee in order to receive a new boarding pass. This facility is available up to 40 minutes prior to the scheduled flight departure click here for fee information

Carriage of infants

To ensure that all families travel at the best price and receive the best service we have introduced a number of services to make it easier for family travel:

  • Priority boarding onto the aircraft is available online for purchase
  • Reserved seating on selected routes for purchase.
  • Pushchairs are carried free and can be used up to the entrance to the plane (provided that local conditions permit this). After landing your pushchair will be available at the aircraft steps.
  • Infant seatbelts are provided on all Ryanair aircraft and individual assistance can be provided by the cabin crew, if required to ensure that infant seat belt is used correctly.
  • Baby changing facilities are available on board.

Unfortunately we are unable to reheat baby food or milk.
