TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN / INFANTS
CHILDREN
-
PLEASE, allow yourself and your family extra time to get through security and still be on time for your flight. You should arrive at the airport, at a minimum, two hours before the flight.
-
Before entering the line for the passenger checkpoints, parents should discuss the entire process with their children so they will not be frightened or surprised.
-
Every person regardless if they are adults, children, or babies must undergo screening to proceed beyond the security checkpoint.
-
ALL child-related equipment must go through the X-ray machine if it fits (i.e., strollers, umbrella strollers, infant carriers, car and boaster seats, backpacks, baby slings, etc.).
-
When child-related equipment does not fit through the X-ray machine, the equipment will be visually and physically inspected.
-
USA3000 will pre-board families with young children to allow additional time to get situated on the aircraft.
-
It is recommended that a child under 40lbs travel in a child restraint device (car seat)*.
*Many child safety seats that are designed for use in automobiles are also appropriate for use on aircraft. Appropriate devices should have hard sides and backs, include integrated shoulder straps, and secure to a passenger seat via channels through which the seatbelt is threaded and attached. The seat must carry the FMVSS.213 insignia and/or language indicating that they are "approved for use in motor vehicles and on aircraft."
INFANTS
- Infants (that is a child who has not reached their second birthday) may travel on the lap of the parent without having to purchase an airfare.
- Should you wish, you may purchase a seat to provide a little more comfort and bring your Child Restraint Device (Car Seat) aboard the aircraft. Infants seated in carseats must be seated in a window seat for safety reasons. More than one infant may not be seated in the same row.
- FAA regulations require any child who has reached their second birthday must occupy his or her own seat during takeoff and landing. USA3000 is required to ensure compliance with this regulation.
- Carry a copy of your baby's birth certificate for age verification. You may be required to purchase a seat if age cannot be prove
