Travelling with a child

If a minor is accompanied by an adult with a different family name, proper documentary evidence of relationship (next of kin or legal custody) or permission of the parent(s) is required. In situations where a minor child is travelling unaccompanied or together with a parent of a different last name, required documentary evidence (notarised consent, birth certificate, personal identification card, student ID etc.) must be presented by the minor's parent or adult guardian either when purchasing the ticket or at the beginning of travel.

Travelling with an infant

Infant tickets may be purchased for our flights for children under 2 years of age. In such cases, babies do not occupy separate seats and are required to travel in a guardian's lap.

A guardian may travel only with one baby at a time without having to make multiple seat reservations.  When travelling with more than one infant, passengers are required to purchase children's ticket(s), which provide separate seating. When travelling with an infant on a separate seat, the guardian must ensure that a CE- or FAA-certified baby seat is used.

Upon request, we are happy to provide baby food to passengers on all of our flights. Such requests must be submitted upon check-in.

Travelling with a child

Some of our fares are eligible for children's discounts. These can be offered to children who, at the beginning of travel, have reached their second birthday and, by the last leg of travel, have not turned 12 years old.

If you would like to purchase a children's menu for your child, you are kindly asked to let our colleagues at the Malév Service Centre know about this when purchasing the ticket, but no less than 24 hours prior to departure.
