Traveling with children

Baby food in your hand luggage?

What's about the stroller?

Prams, buggies, cots or car seats often can be taken along free of charge. Your airline or tour operator can tell you whether you can take the buggy or pram with you to the plane or whether you have to check it in as bulky luggage.

And last thinf of the "airport adventure" for the little ones.

Comfortable parking

Book your parking space early. Tip: A car park within a short walking distance to the terminal building is probably most convenient for traveling with children.
