FAQ
Do infants and children have to pay the same price?
From 4 years of age onwards the general price applies, infants from 0 to 3 years of age can go free of charge but they must be in the arms of their parents or guardians and would not be covered by the traveler’s insurance. If you want the infant to have their own assigned seat or to be covered by the traveler’s insurance then it will be necessary to pay for it like any other passenger.
