Can you bring a baby blanket on a plane with Emirates when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a baby blanket on an Emirates flight

 

Yes. Emirates allows you to bring a baby blanket in the cabin when traveling with an infant. Blankets are treated as personal/carry-on items and are fine to use during boarding and the flight. Security screening applies, so staff may ask you to place the blanket through X‑ray or to open it for inspection.

  • Pack for easy access: keep the blanket in your carry-on or stroller so you can reach it during boarding and in-flight.
  • Security checks: expect screening; voluntarily unfold or place the blanket on the belt when asked.
  • Bring a spare: carry an extra blanket in case of spills or loss.
  • During safety phases: flight crew may ask you to remove loose items from your baby’s lap during takeoff/landing or turbulence—follow their instructions.
  • Storing onboard: small blankets can go under the seat or in a carry-on; larger ones may be placed in the overhead bin or left on a stroller if gate‑checked.
