Travelling with a baby on a private jet - what you need to know


Flying with a baby can quickly become a stressful challenge for parents: long waiting times, little space and curious glances from other passengers. But there is an alternative that promises more comfort and flexibility - flying by private jet. In this article, we show you why a private jet is the perfect solution for families with small children and how you can make the journey a relaxing experience.

Advantages of flying by private jet with a baby

  1. Maximum flexibility: 
    Customise flight times and routes to suit your baby's daily routine.

  2. Exclusive Privacy: 
    Unimpeded care of the child, undisturbed breastfeeding and nappy changing, without distractions from other passengers.

  3. Premium Comfort: 
    Taking important baby items (e.g. stroller, toys); better opportunities to sleep in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

  4. Time Saving: 
    Direct flight connections without tedious waiting times at check-in or security checks.

  5. Maximal Hygine: 
    Reduced risk of infection thanks to limited contacts and exclusive use of the jet.


Comfort measures for a pleasant flight with a baby

To make your baby's flight as comfortable as possible, there are a number of comfort measures you can take. A quiet environment is crucial for a baby's well-being, which is why the use of noise-cancelling headphones has proven particularly effective. These reduce disruptive aircraft noise and create a soothing atmosphere that helps the baby fall asleep. Special blankets and pillows can also make the flight more pleasant by increasing comfort and creating a cosy, homely atmosphere. Soft, supportive pillows allow your baby to lie relaxed, while cosy blankets give them a feeling of security. By taking these small but effective measures, you can help to ensure that your baby feels completely comfortable and that the flight is as stress-free as possible.


Important preparations for the flight:

  • Travel documents: 
    Ensure that all the necessary documents (passport, visa) for the baby are complete and valid.

  • Medical Prevention:
    If necessary, consult your paediatrician, especially if you are planning a long flight.

  • Travel Equipment: 
    Carefully pack all essential items (e.g. nappies, a change of clothes, familiar toys).

  • Planning:
    Try to time your flight around your baby's eating and sleeping times.

  • Catering: 
    We only offer catering for children if specifically requested. Otherwise, you should bring your own baby food.


Private jet travel with babies and toddlers: relaxed and comfortable from the start

A private jet offers families with babies an unrivalled travel option that significantly reduces the usual stress and challenges of scheduled flights. The individual planning flexibility, first-class comfort and quiet, private atmosphere create ideal conditions for a relaxed journey in which both parents and children can rest. Customised adjustments and personal service ensure that everyone's needs are met, from helping baby drift off to stress-free travel organisation. Next time you travel with your little darling, consider the advantages of a private jet. That way, your holiday will begin not at your destination, but as soon as you board the jet.


FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should you do if your baby becomes restless during the flight?

  • Our cabin crew are prepared for such situations and will be happy to help. Bring familiar objects such as toys or pacifiers to help sooth your baby, and use the privacy of the jet to take care of your child's needs in a relaxed manner.

  • How can I ensure that my baby's ears are properly equalised?

  • To avoid pressure on the ears, you can breastfeed your baby the breast or give it a bottle during take-off and landing. Swallowing helps to equalise the pressure.

  • When should you not fly with a baby?

  • Flying is not recommended in the first four to six weeks of life, as a newborn's immune system is still very fragile. Flying should also be avoided if your baby has a cold or earache, as equalising the pressure can cause additional stress. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician before travelling to ensure that flying is safe for your baby.

  • Which baby items can I take on board?

  • In general, you can take important baby items such as strollers, car seats and travel cots on board. We recommend that you discuss this with us in advance so that we can ensure that there is sufficient space and that the equipment is prepared in the best possible way. Our team will do everything they can to meet your needs and ensure a comfortable journey for you and your baby.
