Can I fly with my baby?

In addition to going home or traveling, you may also be flying with your baby when you have given birth to your hometown.
You may be wondering if there is no strain on your small body, when and how to start riding it. Rules and service content vary depending on the airline, so here we will introduce examples of ANA and JAL.
*When using this service, please check the website of each airline.

When can a baby get on a plane?

Both domestic and international flights can be boarded from the 8th day of birth. In the sky, air pressure and oxygen levels drop, putting a certain strain on the body, but there is no need to worry as it does not affect your health. If you are concerned, you can rest assured that you should consult your family doctor beforehand.

Do I need to accompany you?

For domestic flights, children under the age of 3 must be accompanied by aged 12 or older. For international flights, children under the age of 2 must be 12 years old or older at ANA, and JAL must be 16 years old or older.

For domestic flights, up to two infants under the age of 3 can be boarded together per adult, and for international flights, up to two infants under the age of 2 can be boarded together. If one adult is accompanied by two toddlers, one person can be held in a car, but the other person will need a seat.

How about making a reservation? What is the price?

Once you decide to take the flight, we recommend booking your flight early and reserve your seat. Reservations and seat reservations can be made via the airline's website or via the phone.

For infants under the age of 2, domestic flights are free if they are allowed to sit on an adult's lap. If you use a seat, the same pediatric fare will be charged for children aged 3 to 12.
Even if you are riding in a car without using a seat, be sure to let us know that you have a baby when making a reservation.

For international flights, the fare is the same as that of an adult if you use a seat, and even if you hold your seat on your knees, you will pay 10% of the adult fare.

What seat should I choose?

The seating is recommended on the aisle side. This is because it's easy to move around, such as by shaking a sloppy baby or standing up to change diapers. Even when you want to ask a flight attendant for support, the aisle seat has the advantage that it is easier to talk to and get help.

When getting in and out, it is best to choose the seat in front of the seat, where there is little travel distance when getting in and out, or the back of the seat with a changing table close to the toilet. There is a large space in the aisle at the rear of the aircraft, so there is no need to worry about someone getting in the way when holding them and holding them in place, and flight attendants are waiting nearby, making it a place where you can easily get support.

Also, if you want to use a baby bed (bassinet) exclusively for the aircraft, you should book early as there are only a limited number of seats available.

Can I carry a stroller on board?

Due to the limited size of luggage that can be carried on board, many strollers are oversized and cannot be brought in.

Strollers that cannot be brought in will be left at the counter when you check in. At large airports, there are often long lines for luggage storage, but baby strollers can be left at a special counter without having to line up.
Once you have checked your car, you can rent a dedicated stroller for free, just before boarding. If you order it at your departure point, you can rent it at your destination from the time you get off the plane until you pick up your baggage.

What if you get on a plane?

If you have children under the age of 2, you will be guided on the plane before any other passengers. The advantages of priority boarding are that you can relax and get to your seat without panic, and you can organize your luggage in a calm manner.
Keep items you might use on the plane close to your hands, and store anything else in your overhead luggage or under the seat in front of you.

When riding with a baby in a hand, only adults will fasten their seat belts. Please tighten your seat belt first and then hold him. When using a baby carrier, you can also wear a baby carrier on top of the seat belt.

What should you be careful about on the plane?

During take-off and landing, there is a sudden pressure that can cause pain in your ears. You can cure by swallowing saliva, such as "detaching" your ears, but babies cannot do so.
You may cry due to discomfort or pain, so instead of removing your ears, give them a drink of milk or something. I'll let him drink it just before takeoff. The key is to be sure to take the time to avoid drinking it while you're on the runway.

Also, since the inside of the aircraft is dry, it is a good idea to hydrate it frequently and take care of your skin to make sure it's not dry. It can feel chilly, so it might be a good idea to have a jacket or swaddling.

When holding your hair sideways, be careful not to let your head stick out of the aisle. There is a risk that people walking in collide and could cause unexpected injuries.

What services can I receive on-board?

There is a toilet with a changing table on the plane, and paper diapers are also available for free use. You can also get hot water to make milk. They also provide toys and lend picture books.

However, you will receive hot water after takeoff and the sign of wearing the seat belt disappears. To prevent changes in atmospheric pressure, be sure to prepare something that you give to drink before takeoff. The transfer of liquids into the aircraft is restricted by regulations, with exceptions such as baby milk, hot water for milk, and baby food. You can bring your own baggage by checking it at the baggage inspection area.

International flights offer in-flight meals tailored to the age of the month and age, including baby food and infant food.

You can also rent an in-flight baby bed (bassinet). This is especially recommended for long flights, as it allows you to stretch out and put your body in a relaxed position. There are only a limited number of seats available, so bookings are a relief.

What should I bring inside the plane?

Things that are likely to be needed on the plane include things you need for breastfeeding and diaper changing, changes to clothes in case your clothes get dirty, and plastic bags for storing dirty items and trash.

Another thing you should definitely bring is a baby carrier.
If you are allowed to spend time on your mommy dad's lap, the baby will not tighten the seat belt. If there is a large shaking, you can rest assured that you can hold the baby carrier firmly with the baby carrier, and when you feel slurped on the plane, you can reduce the burden on moms and dads.

Another thing that is often forgotten is a passport. Baby also needs a passport for international flights, so don't forget to prepare.
