Fixed children's price – how it works

Travel tips for families
- Prefer direct flights – changing planes with young children is stressful.
- Early morning flights: children continue sleeping on the plane.
- Secure seat reservations, otherwise you will not sit together.
- Pack a travel first-aid kit and sun cream SPF 50+ for children.
- Don't forget a separate passport for children.
