When planning a family holiday with young children finding an airline that balances budget-friendly prices with stress-free travel can be a challenge. Fortunately, easyJet has families in mind. From straightforward luggage policies to helpful onboard perks, here is why easyJet is the ultimate choice for a seamless family getaway.

Stress-Free Boarding & Airport Perks for Parents

Navigating a busy airport with little ones takes patience. easyJet’s airport and seating policies are designed to take the pressure off.

Early boarding for under-5s

Families travelling with children under five get to board the plane early. This complimentary perk gives parents extra time to stow cabin bags and get children settled without the rush of the main queue.

Keeping families seated together

The airline’s seating algorithm works to sit families together on a first-come, first-served basis. If passengers check in early, the system aims to keep them together without the need to purchase specific seats. The digital check-in window opens 30 days before departure to allow families to take advantage of this.

Generous baggage and free equipment allowances

Packing for a family means bringing extra gear. easyJet makes it simple by eliminating hidden fees for essential child equipment.

Two free items of child gear

For every infant or child, you can check in up to two essential items for the hold completely free of charge. Eligible items include:

• Travel cots and baby back carriers

• Car seats and booster seats

• Pushchairs and double buggies

Parents can drop these items at the Bag Drop desk or keep pushchairs with them right up to the aircraft door.

Family Cabin Bag Perks

• Full Cabin Allowances: Children over two and infants with their own booked seat get the same cabin and hold luggage allowance as adults.

• Free Baby Changing Bags: If an infant is travelling on a lap, parents can bring an additional baby changing bag on board for free.

• Trunki Friendly: Standard-sized Trunki ride-on suitcases are gladly welcomed in the cabin and fit right under the seat in front.

Smooth Airport Security and Onboard Feeding

Feeding routines shouldn't be disrupted by travel. easyJet ensures parents have everything they need close at hand.

Baby Liquid Exemptions at Security

The standard 100ml liquid restriction does not apply to baby supplies. Parents can bring up to two litres per container of baby food, formula, breast milk, cow's milk, soya milk, or sterilised water through security.

Breastfeeding Welcome On Board

easyJet champions a warm, inclusive environment. Welfare policies fully support breastfeeding mothers, who are welcome to feed their babies at any point during the flight.

Comfortable Onboard Care and Support Seats

easyJet flights are equipped to keep young flyers safe, comfortable, and looked after.

Accessible Changing Facilities

Every aircraft features dedicated baby changing spaces at both the front and the rear of the cabin for quick, easy access during the flight.

Inclusive Family Travel Support

For children requiring extra physical support, easyJet accommodates a wide variety of specialist restraints and postural support devices, including CARES harnesses, FireFly GOTO seats, Crelling Harnesses, and TravelChairs.

Straightforward Travel for Expectant Mothers

The airline’s family-centric care starts even before the new arrival is here.

• Generous Travel Windows: Expectant mothers can fly up until the end of their 35th week (or 32nd week for multiple pregnancies).

• No Paperwork Hassles: No medical certificates are required for standard pregnancies, making a last-minute "babymoon" remarkably easy to organize.

All-in-One Value for Families with easyJet holidays

The family-friendly perks don’t stop at the airport. For a complete package, easyJet holidays extends great value and peace of mind for the entire trip.
