Traveling with children and infants

Infants older than 7 days, but under 2 years old, can fly free of charge on the lap of an accompanying adult passenger or in a separate seat purchased;

According to flight safety requirements, a separate ticket is issued for each baby. FlyArystan reserves the right to refuse to transport a baby without an air ticket issued for him due to the strict limitation of the number of babies on board.

Each FlyArystan aircraft is equipped with a limited number of emergency rescue equipment (18 life jackets and seat belts) for infants. Based on the tickets issued in the system for children under 2 years old, the airline has the ability to control their allowable number on board.
