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 inform Copa Airlines that you will be traveling with an infant on your lap.
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 purchase a seat for your infant as long as you have the proper child restraint device.
Will I pay for my infant to travel if he/she is sitting on my lap?
A child up to 2 years old (24 months) will be charged 10% of the fare published according to the class (Economy or Executive) that the adult is paying, plus applicable taxes and fees.
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. You can always contact Copa Airlines for more information.
Can I sit in the exit row with my infant?
No lap children or infant seats are allowed in an exit row. In fact, 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.
