World’s fifth most family-friendly airline

We’re delighted to be named the fifth most family-friendly airline worldwide by lastminute.com. The travel website assessed their 36 most booked-airlines on criteria including priority boarding, in-flight TV, child-friendly meals and the accommodation of pushchairs and car seats. We also ranked second best in the survey for the shortest delays, averaging at just 3 minutes.

We work hard to go the extra mile for children and their accompanying grownups alike. Through Family First, we offer half-price checked bags and seat selection for kids between the ages of two and 11 flying within Europe, as well as early-boarding for those with babies and buggies. Buggies, strollers and travel seats will all be checked in free of charge and delivered ready for pick up at the end of the journey.

On board, our cabin crew are happy to assist with heating food and bottles for young children. Baby changing facilities are available on all aircraft. Our in-flight entertainment helps keep older kids happily occupied on longer journeys with a best-in-class selection of child-friendly movies and shows on flights to and from North America.

It’s great to be recognised for our efforts by lastminute.com. Next time you’re flying with kiddos, make sure you let us know how we can make the journey go even smoother. We’ll do our best to help.
