How to Make Allegiant Airlines Reservations for Children?
Travelers under 14 years of age on the date of travel are considered 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 traveler 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 that passengers 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 the 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 the check-in of one stroller per fare-paying traveler.
- Gate-checked strollers will be packed in the cargo and will be delivered to the passenger during the destination’s arrival.
Child Restraint Devices
- The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) advises that infants and small children whose weight is under 40 pounds should be secured in an FAA-approved car seat or harness-type device while traveling on 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 harnesses, and safety belt extensions that attach to an adult during a flight journey.
- AmSafe Aviation CARES is the only harness-type device approved by the FAA. It is designed for 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”.
