What Happens if My Infant Turns 2 During My Trip?

Once a child has reached their second birthday, Transport Canada requires that they occupy their own seat.

If your infant has their second birthday while you are travelling, you will be required to purchase a separate seat on any flight on your reservation after their second birthday at full fare.

• Option 1: My infant will be lap-held on the flight(s) before their second birthday.
  • Please book separate reservations.

If you realize that your infant is turning two during transit, but you purchased all flights with them selected as an Infant passenger type, please contact our contact centre through our official channels before check in to avoid any issues at the airport. 

We will honour the price that the adult was charged. If the fare is no longer available, our team will manually adjust the fare. You will not be charged the contact centre fee.
