Because airline child policies change — and parents shouldn’t have to hunt for answers.
Can you bring a bassinet on a plane with Air France when traveling with a baby?
Bringing a bassinet on Air France
Short answer: Air France provides bassinets on many long‑haul and some medium‑haul aircraft, but they are subject to availability and must be requested in advance.
- Reserve early: Ask when booking or contact Air France (or use Manage My Booking) to request a bassinet — seats with bassinet fittings are limited.
- Aircraft and seat limits: Bassinets are installed only on specific rows and aircraft types; the crew will advise if your flight has them.
- Safety and use: Crew will instruct when the bassinet may be used; infants must be secured as directed during taxi, takeoff and landing.
- Own travel beds/CRS: You may bring a small travel bassinet or an approved child restraint seat (CRS), but the airline must approve its use and it must meet cabin/airworthiness rules.
- Check before travel: Policies and availability can change—confirm with Air France for your specific flight and infant details.
