Planning a trip with your little one? There's a few things you need to know before you grab your passports and head to the airport. We'll help you book the right seat for their age and figure out what you can bring along on board.

Select the right fare for your child's age

Infants less than 8 days old are only allowed to travel for medical emergencies, provided that Qatar Airways Medical Centre approval is obtained using a Medical Information Form (MEDIF). The infant can also accompany the mother if she needs to travel for compassionate reasons, provided she has obtained all the necessary travel documents for the infant, as well as a certificate from a qualified pediatrician indicating that the infant is fit to travel.

Infants over 8 days and under 2 years old can travel on a parent's lap (or another adult's) with an infant fare.

If you are travelling alone with two infants, the second infant must be at least 1 year old and able to sit on a separate seat or car seat.* A child fare will apply to that second infant. 

When travelling with two or more infants who are younger than 1 year old, there must be an accompanying adult who is at least 16 years old for every infant who will be carried on a lap. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of babies on board. 

Children 2 to 11 years old, travelling with an adult who is at least 16 years old, will be booked on a child fare and travel on their own seat.

* Car seats may be used for infants and children between 6 months old and 36 months old, weighing up to 20kg (44lb).

Infant fare checked baggage allowance

Infants have their own checked-in baggage allowance, plus one baby stroller, car seat, or collapsible carrycot accepted at no extra charge.

Route Baggage allowance (all classes of travel)
Flights to/from Africa or Americas
One piece, not to exceed 23kg (50lb)
Flights to/from all other destinations
10kg (22lb)
Hand baggage Not entitled

Child fare checked baggage allowance

Little travellers over 2 years old and infants travelling on a child fare get their own baggage allowance (same as adults), so they can bring along all their favourite toys and clothes.

Your family seating options

Complimentary seat selection

When travelling with an infant, you can choose a seat for yourself and everyone in your booking, at no extra charge. Bassinet seats are subject to availability, but we'll try our best to accommodate your family.

Same flight, different cabins?

Little travellers 5 to 11 years old can fly solo in a different cabin on the same flight as you. Our award-winning crew will take care of all details, so you can relax and enjoy the journey. 

Toddlers younger than 5 years old are required to be accompanied by an adult who is at least 16 years old and travelling in the same cabin. This ensures your little ones have the care and attention they need throughout the journey. 

Children travelling alone

Travelling solo doesn't always mean alone. Kids travelling with our young solo traveller service are taken care of every step of the way – from the moment they check in until they reach their final destination. 

The young solo traveller service must be booked for any child aged 5 to 11 travelling alone without an adult who is at least 16 years old. A dedicated Qatar Airways representative will look after your child on board and during transit. On arrival, your child will be safely handed to their designated pick-up person.
