Passengers with infants
Traveling with children? Here are some useful tips for a safe and seamless travel experience.
Fare
- Infants 7 days or older allowed on board
- Fare for infants less than 24 months old
- Domestic: Free
- International: 10% of normal adult fare
Note
- One adult passenger may accompany one infant. When one adult passenger travels with two, a ticket must be purchased for one infant.
Child fare applies to children 24 months and older, a 25% discount from the adult fare for both international and domestic flights. (baggage allowance is the same as adult passengers)
Baggage Allowance
- Domestic
- One each of a foldable stroller or a car seat (or bassinet)
- International
- One each of a foldable stroller or a car seat (or bassinet)
- 1 piece of baggage of which the total of dimensions (width + length + height) is 115cm or less and which weighs 10kg or less
Stroller
For the measurement standard for general strollers, the sum of A (horizontal, from the left wheel to the right wheel), B (vertical, from the front wheel to the wheel at the back), and C (height, from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the handle) is 115cm, and for folding strollers, A 20cm, B 20cm, and C 100cm.
- Strollers where the total of dimensions exceeds 115cm can be used up to the boarding gate but must be checked in as baggage at the boarding gate.
- Completely foldable umbrella-type strollers are allowed on board.
- You can pick up your stroller in front of the boarding gate at the arrival airport for international flights and at the baggage claim area at the arrival airport for domestic flights.
Note
- Overseas airport circumstances may not allow your stroller to be delivered to the gate on arrival.
In-flight Meals
In-flight meals for infants can be requested for infants less than 24 months old traveling on international flights.
- Available: Baby food and juice or infant child meal
- Request through the Korean Air website or Service Center at least 24 hours before departure
In-Flight Services
Passengers on international flights requiring a baby bassinet can request this through the travel agency or the Korean Air Service Center.

Diaper changing stations are installed inside lavatories.
Car Seat and Harness
Personal car seats or harnesses can be used in flight for passengers traveling with children.
- Infant must have a separate seat to use the car seat or harness.
- Car seats must fit the seats in the cabin, and car seats or harnesses certified by US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or car seats certified for cabin use can be used during the entire flight including takeoff and landing.
- A car seat not certified for cabin use must be stored in the overhead bin or under the seat during takeoff, landing and taxiing, and may be transported as checked baggage if it exceeds the size limit of a carry-on item.
- Car seats or harnesses must not interfere with evacuation in case of an emergency. Preferred seats may be limited. (Aisle seats, emergency exit row seats, and seats that are one row in front or back of overwing emergency exit rows are not permitted.)
- Please check before travel that car seats or harnesses are working normally, and that the baby/child does not exceed height/weight limits from device standards.
Other Note
Please refer to the in-flight information when traveling with children.
Note
- If you paid a child fare when purchasing a ticket, a regular adult seat is provided.
- For infants with health issues, please confirm with the airline whether or not the infants can board the aircraft prior to boarding in order to ensure safe air travel.
