Travelling with children on board

Children under 2

To travel with your baby we offer the infant passenger (INF) fare that applies to children who have not yet reached 2 years of age before the end of the full trip. They do not occupy their own seat and they pay between 30% and 10% of the fare of the accompanying adult.
If you prefer them to have their own seat or if they will turn 2 years old before the end of the trip, you must purchase the child passenger (CHD) fare. In this case, you will need to bring an approved car seat (EU quality seal, ECE R44/03 or ECE R44/04) for your baby to travel in, bearing in mind the safety regulations.

*On Iberia flights operated by LATAM, babies who travel in Business will be subject to the same fare as adults and will occupy an individual seat, bearing in mind the above safety regulations for these cases.

Babies under 8 months on long-haul flights

We offer comfort cots for babies up to 11 kg in weight.
The cots are 75 cm long and 34 cm wide.
We offer cots in all cabins, except for Premium Economy on the Airbus A350.
Cots and seats for accompanying adults cannot be booked online, only through the Iberia Office in your country. They will also inform you about the possibility of making an advance seat booking for you in the designated cot area. Depending on the cabin class in which you are travelling, this advance booking will incur an additional cost. Check the seat booking conditions.

Children from 2 to 11 years of age

The discount applied depends on the fare class in which you are flying.

Children over two and under 12 travelling on domestic flights are eligible for a discount depending on the fare chosen. Discounts do not apply to the most economical fares.

On international flights this percentage will vary depending on the destination and the fare applied. This discount is not applied to certain special offers.

Minors travelling alone

We offer an Unaccompanied minor service for children from 5 years old that guarantees their safety and well-being from the moment we pick up them up at the departure airport, throughout the journey and until they are met by the person responsible for them at the destination. We will be with your child at all times, either on their own or with a small group of other children.

For children from 5 to 11 years old, this service is mandatory; while for young people from 12 to 17 years old it is optional. The person responsible for the minor must personally hand them over at the airport and remain there until the plane takes off.

Check fees, recommendations and other details under Children travelling alone.

An adult travelling with more than one child under age 5

We are committed to offering infants, children and their families maximum safety and comfort during the flight.
Accordingly, one infant (under age 2), one infant and a child under age 5, or two children under age 5 are permitted per adult.

To travel with children between ages 5 and 12, the policy on groups of children applies.

Exceptionally, one adult may travel with two infants (under age 2) provided that they take a special seat for the infants.

In accordance with on-board safety regulations, an adult wishing to travel with two infants must take an approved car seat for one of the infants, placed in the seat next to the adult passenger.
The other infant will travel on the adult's lap, secured with the extra belt that the crew will provide, as per customary practice.

The fare for the infant in the car seat will be the same as the fare for a child between ages 2 and 11.

Children travelling as a group on Iberia flights

Children between ages 5 and 11 travelling in a group must be accompanied by a person aged 18 or over acting as their chaperone. One adult per eight minors is required, i.e.

One accompanying adult for every 8 children between ages 5 and 11.
Two accompanying adults for every 16 children between ages 5 and 11.

Thereafter, one additional accompanying adult for every 8 children.

Special cases

Discount tickets for minors, i.e., children (aged 2 to 11) or infants (under 2 travelling with an adult) will have the same allowance as this adult and may also cover a foldable stroller or a car seat.

When you travel with a child and bring your own stroller, you have the option of keeping the stroller with you through to when you board the aircraft or checking it in along with the rest of your baggage. If you take it to the aircraft door, you will have to carry it in the cabin, space onboard allowing. If there is not enough space, the flight crew will remove the stroller, place it in the hold and return it to you at the aircraft door upon arrival.
This service is NOT guaranteed at every airport in the Iberia Group network. Certain destinations prohibit the use of passengers' own buggies in the airport. On these routes you will be able to pick up your buggy in the baggage reclaim hall on arrival, and if you are taking a connecting flight it will be checked through to your final destination.

If you check it into the hold, you will have to collect it along with the rest of your baggage on the corresponding belts in the arrivals lounge.

To buy tickets for the Shuttle, an ID card or passport must be presented as a means of identification. If the minor is accompanied by their parents, the parents' ID will be sufficient to link them to the child's ticket.

All passengers over age 14 must carry a national ID card or passport.

On domestic flights, minors under the age of 14 are not obliged to carry one of these forms of identification but it will be easier for them to prove their identity if they do carry an ID card or passport.

There is no standard procedure for international flights (European and third countries) but all minors, accompanied or not and regardless of age, will need to carry their national ID card or passport (plus a consent form authorised at a police station if they are travelling alone) and meet the requirements of the country of destination
