Low-cost carriers, or budget airlines, Generally do not provide children based fares because the child is actually taking up a seat.
In practice most full-service airlines provide a child’s fair. The amount of the fair is very young, but as a rule of thumb it works something like this:
- Children under two years old while sitting in the lap of the adult is 10% of the airline adult fare. Children under two who take up a seat or charged 75% of the adult fare. Some low-cost carriers remove the fee for children if they are sitting in the lap of the adult.
- Children between the ages of two and 12 years old or charged 75% of the adult fare.
