On board with children
Children usually find it really exciting to be on an aircraft. And if the little ones have been well prepared, the parents can relax on their journey.
Entertainment on board
To help prevent boredom, our crews hand out puzzles, colouring books and other toys on most flights. On long haul flights, we entertain our younger passengers with films for all ages, computer games and with our music channel for children.
Child restraint systems or child car seats
A child restraint system, a child car seat or a baby basket can be used on board to increase passive safety for infants and young children. In the case of infants, a separate passenger seat must be booked for the flight. Use of the seat is voluntary.
Child restraint systems
You can find examples of certified child restraint systems here:
Children’s car seats
You can take your child’s car seat on board the aircraft if your child is under 12 years of age and weighs less than 27 kg. In the case of infants, a separate passenger seat must be booked for the flight. The car seat must be certified for use in aircraft and must fit on a SWISS seat (43 cm x 43 cm). Please note the label on the child’s car seat. Although you are responsible for fitting the seat, our crew will be pleased to help you.
Baby bassinets
Baby bassinets are available in all flight classes on long-haul flights and in Business Class on European flights. They are approved for babies of up to 8 months and weighing a maximum of 11 kg. The number of cots is limited, so please be sure to contact our Service Center in good time.
Comfort devices for your trip: what can I bring with me on board?
Comfort devices may be used on board if they do not compromise the safety of the flight and the comfort of other passengers.
In accordance with the ENAC regulation, we inform you that you are entitled to a free seat reservation for flights to and from Italy if you meet the following conditions: You are traveling with a child between the ages of 2 and 12 and/or you are a passenger with a disability or accompanying one. The Lufthansa Group will grant you a seat next to each other free of charge at check-in.
