Can I take a pushchair and a car seat on my flight?
If you're flying on a TUI flight (package or flight only), you can check in pushchairs and/or car seats into the hold for free. You can also bring your pushchair with you onboard, as long as it weighs less than 10kg, is no bigger than 55x40x20cm and has a hand luggage label provided during check-in. This'll count as your larger piece of hand luggage for an adult on the booking, meaning you can have this and one smaller piece of hand luggage that fits under the seat in front of you. There is the option to use your pushchair at the airport and hand it to a member of staff at the gate before you board, but please make our ground staff aware when you check in as you will need a label for this too.
Just so you know, pushchairs and car seats will be returned on the luggage belt when you arrive, and there’s occasionally a long walk between the aircraft and the luggage reclaim area. Any pushchairs need to be completely collapsible. Please note, if you're travelling with an infant under 2, they don't have a hand luggage allowance.
Flights with other airlines;
Most other airlines will also carry pushchairs free of charge and you can usually take them to the boarding gate. It's worth checking with the airline before you travel.
Some airlines also offer extra hold luggage for under 2s - you'll find details on your e-ticket/confirmation email.
