Children on board

Younger guests are just as valuable to us

Children on board

Smaller passengers are especially important to us

The Germanwings Boomi Bear demonstrates our family-friendly policy and points out our offers and services for children.

Reduction of a third for children

With the children's reduction, young passengers can fly at great fares with Germanwings. Children from 2 to 11 get a reduction of a third of the net fare of the flight when booking.*

Small children under 2 only pay a service charge of 15 € per leg, and 17,85 € (incl. VAT) on flights within Germany.

Entry and exit regulations for children and adolescents

Please note...

...that in France and Spain children and adolescents under 18, who do not have their own passport, need to provide a written parental authorisation to be able to leave their home country. The authorisation is an official form that can be obtained from your local town hall or police station and must be filled out and signed by the parents. When travelling to and from Croatia, children and adolescents under 18 (under 14 for Croatian nationals) who are not travelling with an authorised carer, must have their own passport as well as the written authorisation of their parents. The authorisation must be notarised. A notarised written parental authorisation is also required for children under 12 travelling to and from Portugal.

Care service for children travelling alone

Children from 5 to 11 can also travel unaccompanied on Germanwings flights within Germany. Unfortunately at present we cannot offer this service on other routes. Our staff are ever friendly and are there to look after the well-being of your child making sure they arrive safely at the destination airport. We also offer every child travelling unaccompanied a free soft drink.

On-board entertainment for children

To keep them entertained we have a whole page just for children in the Germanwings on-board magazine. There our younger passengers can find stories, comics and puzzles on the theme of flying.


Pushchairs and buggies

Pushchairs, buggies and travel cots will be carried free of charge. Larger pushchairs will be carried separately as bulky luggage. Depending on the departure airport, smaller lighter buggies can be taken right to the gate.

Baggage allowance for children

For children age 2 and over the same conditions apply as for adult passengers.
