Can you bring a bassinet on a plane with Avianca when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a bassinet on an Avianca flight

 

Yes — Avianca offers bassinets on many international/long‑haul flights, but they are subject to availability and aircraft configuration. You cannot assume one will be waiting unless reserved in advance.

  • Request the bassinet when booking or contact Avianca customer service as early as possible — bassinets are limited and assigned to bulkhead seats.
  • Bulkhead seat required for the bassinet installation, so you may need to change seats or wait for assignment at check‑in.
  • Not available on every aircraft — some planes don’t have bassinet fittings, so availability depends on the specific flight.
  • Personal/portable bassinets can usually be brought but are typically checked or gate‑checked; they are not a substitute for the airline bassinet during taxi, takeoff, landing, or turbulence unless specifically approved by crew.
  • Always confirm exact rules (weight/size limits, age limits, and how to reserve) with Avianca before travel to avoid surprises.

If you want, tell me your route and dates and I can suggest how to contact Avianca or what to ask when you call.
