Carryon Baggage

If you have purchased a ticket for your child, a FAA-approved child restraint system/car seat that will be used during flight can be carried on and will not count toward your carryon limit.

Learn more about our carryon policy.

Learn more about traveling with formula or while nursing.

Checked Baggage

When traveling with a child(ren), each ticketed Customer may check one stroller and one car seat/child restraint system free of charge. Strollers and child restraint systems are transported only with a limited release of liability.

Customers may check a stroller and/or CRS at the curb (where curbside check-in is available), ticket counter, or gate. Items checked at the gate will be claimed at the baggage claim area upon arrival at the final destination. If you prefer to have the CRS and/or stroller at the jet bridge in your connecting city or final destination, please let the Agent know when gate checking the item.

Items such as portable/folding cribs or ‘pack and plays’ count as regular bags and our checked baggage policy will apply. See details about our baggage policies.
