Airlines have varying rules for flying with infants

As summer travel approaches, families should be aware of different airline rules for flying with infants. Ryanair allows babies over eight days old to travel but requires them to sit on an adult's lap without a separate bag allowance. British Airways offers an infant fare for children under two, allowing them to sit on a lap or in a purchased seat with a car seat. Unlike Ryanair, infants on laps get a checked bag allowance. Jet2 charges £20 per infant and requires approval for those under two weeks old. EasyJet allows early boarding for families and permits two additional items for infants. TUI prohibits travel for babies under 14 days and recommends waiting for vaccinations.
