Children and infants

Infants under two years old

One adult cannot be responsible for more than two infants. If travelling with two infants, only one infant may travel on the accompanying adult’s knee; for the second infant a seat must be purchased.

Children aged two years or over must occupy their own seat and pay the same fares as adults.

Infants under two weeks of age will not be accepted for travel.

We will accept a car seat supplied by the accompanying person for any child over six months for whom an airline seat has been purchased, provided that the car seat has a rigid metal or plastic frame, is no wider than 42cm, includes lap, shoulder and crotch straps, and is upright and forward facing – visit our Carrier’s Regulations for more information on car seats.

Children travelling alone

We do not accept any unaccompanied children under the age of 14 for travel. Children under 14 years of age cannot travel unless accompanied by a person aged 16 years or older who will take responsibility for them. easyJet does not operate an indemnity policy and therefore, under no circumstance, under the Child Protection Act, must another passenger be asked to accept responsibility during flight of an unaccompanied minor.

Travel to the Czech Republic

Children under 15 years may travel on a parent’s passport provided they are travelling with the passport holder. Children aged 15 years and older are required to travel on their own travel documents.

Specific regulations also apply for Spanish, French and Portuguese children under the age of eighteen years:

Spanish and French Children Under 18 Years

Children under 18 travelling without their parents/legal guardians and with an ID card must have a form of written authorisation to travel from their parents.


  • They must collect the form from their local police station which must be presented with their ID card at the check-in desk and at passport control.
  • If they do not have this form the passport control officers will refuse them travel.
  • Children travelling with a valid passport do not require this form as a passport acts as parental authority.
  • This from is required for both International and Domestic flights.
  • A Family Book (Livret de Famille) is not sufficient ID for a child/infant to travel on international flights.
  • Children travelling on easyJet international flights must have either a valid ID card or passport and any other necessary documents.

Latvian children under 18 years

Latvian children under 18 traveling alone must provide the following at check-in:

  • A valid passport; and
  • A letter confirming the child’s parent or guardian consents to travelling alone, which must be signed by a solicitor; and
  • Birth certificate

Portuguese children under 18 years

Portuguese nationals and alien residents under 18 years and leaving or re- entering Portugal unaccompanied by their father, mother or legal guardian need a travel authorisation. This travel authorisation must be:


  • signed by the father, mother or legal guardian; and
  • the signature is notarised if the father, mother or legal guardian reside in Portugal; or
  • the signature is authenticated by a Portuguese embassy or consulate in the country where the father, mother or legal guardian reside.

This travel authorisation is also required when minors are accompanied by a person other than their father, mother or legal guardian. In such cases the travel authorisation must also clearly show the name of the accompanying person. Foreign minors under 18 years and travelling alone may be refused entry if they do not have anyone in Portugal taking responsibility for their stay.

Groups

We will accept children aged 13 years or under in large groups (i.e. 10 or more) on the condition that there is a minimum ratio of one accompanying adult per 10 children. In these instances an adult is considered to be anyone aged 16 years or above.

Passengers travelling in such groups must call the easyJet call centre in advance of travel so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.
