Below is a comprehensive list of airline child and infant travel policies for the United States. Below you may click on the links to each airline (in alphabetical order) to be taken directly to the airline’s website page that describes their policies on domestic and international travel with children and infants, including ticket cost, approved travel restraint systems, baggage allowance, bassinet requests, and documentation requirements.
If you will be using a child restraint system, please make sure you check with the airline maximum size of the seat (sometimes approved car seats can be too wide for seats, especially in bulkhead). Also note that there are typically restrictions on where a CRS can be used (E.g. no exit rows, aisle seats, etc.).
I will provide a brief summary of each policy (as of May 17, 2012).
You will also find a link to each airline’s customer service phone number and email addresses in case you need to ask customer service a specific question regarding your situation, or to request seats or special meals to make your journey more comfortable. Happy flying!
Seat Guru run by TripAdvisor is also a fabulous resource which includes seat maps and information on different airlines globally, including detailed infant and child policies by each airline. Check it out!

Airline Infant and Child Travel Policies: Canada
What Documents Does Baby Need for International Travel?
I just got back from a trip to Sweeden with my family ( 3 years old and 4 months old daughter) We flew with Delta Airlines and I have to say they were the worst flight ever when traveling with kids. They have zero customer service skills. The attendants where not nice at all to us. I would highly discourage anyone from flying Delta if you are planning a relaxing trip with your family. In the past we have travelled with American Airlines and they have always seemed very accommodating to our needs. Don’t fly Delta if you are traveling with kids.
Hi Andrea- I agree completely and have written several posts about how much I dislike Delta flying as a family. My husband and I flew Delta exclusively before having kids, and now we never, ever fly with them. They are horrible. For international flights we typically choose Etihad if possible- they are the most family-friendly airline we have flown. We try to stay away from most US-based airlines- I think there isn’t a very family-friendly culture in the US in general, which manifests in the way families are treated on flights. Sorry you had a bad flight with Delta!
As of today – May 21, 2013 – taxes for Frontier Airlines infant on lap to PV, Mexico – $17 rt.
