What is Air Canada's policy for traveling with infants or children?

Asked 2 years ago
Air Canada has a comprehensive policy to accommodate infants and children traveling with them. For children under the age of two, Air Canada allows them to travel as infants on the lap of an accompanying adult. However, there is an additional fee for this service, which is typically a percentage of the adult fare. If the family prefers, they can also book a separate seat for the infant, which is encouraged for safety and comfort. For children aged two and older, a full fare ticket must be purchased. Additionally, families can bring a stroller or car seat, subject to size restrictions. It is advisable to arrive at the airport early to allow time for check-in procedures involving children. Air Canada also offers various amenities for families, including priority boarding for families with young children, as well as in-flight entertainment options tailored to children. Parents should review the latest guidelines and tips regarding traveling with young passengers on the official Air Canada website to prepare adequately for their journey.
