Do I need to reserve a seat for my infant?
Children under 2 years (24 months), are not required to have their own seat. You must, however, inform French bee (BF) that you will be traveling with an infant on your lap. Lap children may only be held by passengers who are at least 18 years of age.
Only one lap child is allowed per one adult. If one adult is traveling with more than one infants under 2 years of age, a seat must be purchased for each additional infant.
You may 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 domestically?
French bee (BF) charge is 10% of the selected adult fare for an infant traveling on the lap of the accompanying adult.
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.
