Flying with Baby on Easyjet

Easyjet is one of Europe’s most popular short-haul airlines. With a baby, there are a few things to know.

Lap Infant: Costs and Rules

  • Fee: From approx. 27 EUR per leg (varies by route)
  • Age: 14 days to under 2 years
  • Loop belt: Provided on board
  • Max. 1 baby per adult on the lap

Carry-On

  • No separate carry-on for the baby — same as other low-cost airlines
  • Baby food and medication: Exempt from the 100ml rule
  • Diaper bag: Counts as the adult’s personal item

Stroller and Buggy

  • Free: 2 items per child (e.g. stroller + car seat) transported free of charge
  • Gate-check: Yes, stroller can be taken to the gate
  • Return: At baggage claim or gate — depends on airport
  • Foldable strollers are prioritized

Easyjet is more generous than Ryanair here: you can bring stroller AND car seat for free.

Seat Selection

  • Families with babies cannot book emergency exit rows
  • Recommendation: Front rows — faster boarding and deplaning
  • Easyjet Plus or front seats worth it with a baby — shorter distances

Easyjet automatically seats families with children under 5 together if no seat reservation is made.

What Easyjet Does NOT Offer

  • No bassinet — Easyjet only flies short-haul
  • No baby meals — self-catering on board
  • No family priority boarding — some airports offer it anyway (e.g. Gatwick)

Car Seats

Approved car seats can be brought if a separate seat is booked. The seat must carry the “For use in aircraft” label.
