Children & Infant
Travel
Our ground and cabin staff are trained to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for young passengers and those traveling with them. Here’s some helpful information to make your trip with children easier:
Age Definitions:
- Infants: Up to 2 years
- Children: 2-11 years
- Youths: 12-15 years
- Adults: 16 years and over
Expectant Mothers
A medical letter is required confirming the duration of pregnancy and fitness for travel after 28 weeks. Travel is not permitted after 36 weeks or within seven days of the expected delivery date. New mothers may only travel within seven days of giving birth with a completed medical form.
Exceptions: For travel to/from the Highlands/Islands, travel is allowed up to 40 weeks and there are no restrictions post-birth with a doctor's note confirming fitness to travel.
Travelling with infants
Infants under 2 years old who are seated on a parent's lap do not require airfare, though taxes may apply at certain airports served by Loganair.
Infants aged 6 months to under 2 years may travel in an approved forward-facing car seat, though a child fare will apply for the seat. Loganair does not provide car seats.
During take-off and landing, an adult must hold the infant, with only one infant allowed per adult.
Children aged 2-11 travelling with parents receive a discount on the fare (taxes/fees/charges are not discounted).
For luggage allowances for infants, please see here.
Children travelling solo
Loganair no longer permits unaccompanied minors to travel due to child welfare concerns. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize child safety.
To support parents or guardians, we will introduce a ‘drop off’ fare offering a reduced-cost same-day return ticket.
Youths travelling solo
Children aged 12 to 15 traveling alone will be booked as adults and will proceed through departure and arrival airports, and board flights without a chaperone. Loganair cannot assume responsibility for unaccompanied minors.
Parents/guardians should ensure the child carries necessary documentation and can communicate with both the parent/guardian and the person meeting them at the destination. We recommend the parent or guardian waits until the flight departs before leaving the airport.
Youth (12-15) pay the adult fare, and bookings should be made through Loganair’s call centre at 0344 800 2855.
Youth are exempt from paying the Air Passenger Duty, and Loganair offers Young Scot fares for 12-25-year-olds.
