Fixed children's price – how it works

Travel tips for families
- Prefer direct flights – connecting flights with young children are stressful.
- Early morning flights: the child continues to sleep on the plane.
- Reserve seats in advance, otherwise you may not be seated together.
- Pack a travel first-aid kit and sunscreen SPF 50+ for children.
- Don't forget a separate passport for children.
