Carrycots
For your baby's comfort, we have specially designed carrycots on board, so that your baby can sleep during the flight.
To reserve a carrycot you just need to book a seat in advance at a carrycot position on the aircraft, and that is free of charge. You'll see the carrycot positions on the seat map in Manage My Booking. If you don't choose a seat in advance, we'll allocate a suitable seat for you three days before departure, but this might not be at a carrycot position.

Please note: Due to operational reasons, sometimes we will not be able to guarantee the carrycot that you reserved.

Child seats
We can also supply a child seat that attaches to the carrycot position. If you have reserved your seat at a carrycot position, you can ask the cabin crew for a child seat.
The child seats supplied by British Airways are:
  • available on all longhaul flights, except in First Class on Boeing 777 aircraft, where only carrycots are supplied
  • suitable to be used from birth to two years, for infants who weigh no more than 13kgs (29lbs)
  • adjustable to a variety of positions from horizontal to vertical

Baby baskets

You can reserve a baby basket if you are travelling on an intercontinental scheduled flight or a leisure flight (AY1000 series). As baby basket places in the cabin are limited, we recommended that you reserve your basket when you book your flights tickets, either through the Finnair office or your travel agency.
You must pay for a first-row seat in order to use a baby basket. You can reserve your seat online via the Select your Sear service on our website. If you’re travelling on a Finnair leisure flight (AY1000 series), you can reserve your seats online via the Leisure flights supplementary services.
If your child is under 2 years, he or she must sit on an adult’s lap wearing a separate safety belt, or in a child restraint device fastened to the aircraft seat – this is especially important during take-off, landing and periods of irregularity (for example, those caused by turbulence).
The inside length of our baby baskets is 70 cm. The infant using the basket may not weigh more than 11 kg (24 lb). Baby basket is recommended for infants not older than 6 months.

To book a skycot please contact the Iberia Office in your country, who will inform you if you will be able to book a seat for yourself in the area asigned to skycots. If your fare does not allow for your seat to be pre-assigned, it is important that you arrive at the airport in plenty of time for check-in.
