HOW TO MAKE ALLEGIANT AIRLINES RESERVATIONS FOR CHILDREN?

Travellers under 14 years of age on the date of travel are considered as children. They must be accompanied by a passenger who should be at least 15 years old on the same reservations.

For children who are under 2 years of age on the date of travel, there are two flight booking options:

  • As a lap child on the seat of an adult on the same reservations.
  • As a ticketed traveller seated in an FAA-approved car seat.

When a customer enters the child's date of birth on the home page of Allegiant Airlines official site, you are offered with a choice of travel preference. Allegiant Airlines tends to provide safe travel to all passengers of every age and also recommends the passengers to purchase a flight ticket.

  • While you are going on a trip with family and kids, Allegiant Airlines do not guarantee the availability of seats together.
  • It is recommended to reserve seats at the time of flight bookings through the option of "manage travel" or during online or mobile check-in.
  • Children seated in the car seats must be placed in a window seat and must not be placed on the aisle seat.

STROLLERS AND CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICES

STROLLERS

  • Passengers can check strollers as checked baggage at a time of check-in.
  • If the car seat or stroller is taken to the gate then it will be "gate-checked".
  • No fee is charged for check-in one stroller per fare-paying traveller.
  • Gate checked strollers will be packed in the cargo and will be delivered to the passenger during the destination arrival.

CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICES

  • The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) advises that infant and small children who weight is under 40 pounds should be secured in FAA-approved car seat or harness-type device while travelling in a flight.
  • A car seat style child restraint system wider than 17.88 inches is unlikely to fit and give maximum protection and safety for the child.
  • FAA Banned the use of Backless booster seats, vest harness and safety belt extensions that attach to an adult during flight journey.
  • AmSafe Aviation CARES is the only harness type device approved by the FAA. It is designed for the children weighing between 22-44 pounds and must include a label claiming "FAA Approved in Accordance with 14CFR21.305 (d) approved for flight use only".
