Jetstar Airways Child Policy: All you need to Know 

Traveling with a child by air is difficult, especially when handling them throughout the flight, which can be tricky. While planning to travel with your child, you need to know about the airline's rules, as every airline has its own rules and regulations for the respective subject. After making the reservation for your scheduled flight with Jetstar Airways, you must go through the Jetstar Airways child policy and learn about the airline's terms and conditions before you fly with your child. To get updated on the Jetstar rules and regulations, go through the points mentioned below and get further updated on the following.

• Children under the age of 1 are considered infants, children from the age of 2 to 12 or 14 are considered children, and passengers with an agent above 14 are counted as adults.
•  As per the child policy guidelines, a parent or legal guardian must accompany infants under three months old on all Jetstar flights.
• While traveling with a child of two years or more, you need to purchase their own seat, as they can not be further seated by sitting on the parent's lap.
• No infants less than 7 days old are eligible to fly on Jetstar due to medical and health issues of a child.
• A child under the agent of 2 years can further travel for free as long as the infant is on the lap of the parent of another passenger flying.
• Only one lap child is allowed per adult; thus, If one adult travels with more than one infant under 2 years of age, a seat will have to be purchased for each additional infant.
• Passengers must be at least 15 years old to sit in exit rows, which include all extra legroom seats. Those younger than that can not use their respective seats.
• You can select and purchase seats for your family when you book your flight, or they will be randomly assigned at check-in.
• While traveling with an infant, you should carry the essential medical documents from the children's doctor that prove your child is healthy enough to withstand the high-mileage pressure.
• For identification and proof of the child's age, you must carry a birth certificate or passport, which may be required for infants under two. A passport is always for infants or children on international flights.
• Traveling with a child requires a lot of luggage, as babies tend to have countless things to carry. Thus, Jetstar's infant fee includes four pieces of checked baggage.
