Do I need to reserve a seat for my infant?
Children up to 2 years old (24 months), are not required to have their own seat. You must, however, inform Austrian Airlines that you will be traveling with an infant on your lap. Lap children can only be held by passengers who are at least 15 years of age.
Only one lap child is allowed per adult. If one adult is traveling with more than one infant under 2 years of age, a seat will have to be purchased for each additional infant.
You can also choose to reserve a seat for your child at the applicable child fare. Austrian Airlines' aircraft seats accommodate the following brands and models:
- Römer (Duo or Duo Plus)
- Römer (King TS)
- Römer (Baby Safe Plus)
- Maxi Cosi (Priori Fix SPS or XP)
- Craco (Logico S)
- Storchenmühle (Maximum)
Will I pay for my infant to travel?
A child under 2 years old (24 months) can usually travel for 10% of an adult fare as long as the infant will be on the lap of another passenger for the flight.
What if my child turns 2 on the trip; will I have to buy a ticket for the return flight?
Yes, a ticket will have to be purchased for any flight on which the infant will be over 2 years old.
What infant amenities are available on the aircraft I'll be flying (i.e. bassinets)?
Infant amenities vary by aircraft. When you're on the airplane page, look for the Infant Amenity Icon. If it is present, clicking on it will tell you what infant services are available on that airplane. If you do not see it, infant amenities are not offered on that aircraft. Contact Philippine Airlines for more information.
Bassinets are available for infants up to 6-9 months and a maximum of 12 kg on long-haul routes. To ensure its availability, passengers should contact Austrian Airlines Reservations at the time of booking.
Can I sit in the exit row with my infant?
No lap children or infant seats are allowed in an exit row and that all passengers in an exit row must be at least 15 years of age. In addition, infant seats are not allowed in the row directly in front of or directly behind an exit.
