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

 

Bringing a bassinet on Turkish Airlines

 

Short answer: Turkish Airlines provides bassinets on many long‑haul and some widebody flights, but they are limited and must be requested in advance.

• Request early: Ask for a bassinet when booking or call reservations — bulkhead seats with bassinet brackets are limited and allocated first‑come, first‑served.
• Aircraft & availability: Bassinets are only available on selected aircraft and routes; availability cannot be guaranteed until confirmed by the airline.
• Check‑in and boarding: Confirm the bassinet at check‑in and arrive early so staff can assign the appropriate seat.
• In‑flight use & safety: Cabin crew will advise when the bassinet may be used (usually during cruise); during taxi, takeoff and landing you must follow crew instructions for holding your infant or using an approved child restraint device.
• Bringing your own bassinet: You may bring a portable travel bassinet/cot as checked or carry‑on luggage, but it generally cannot replace an airline‑installed bassinet for in‑flight use unless specifically approved by the airline.

If you want, I can help draft a short script to call reservations or a checklist of what to tell staff when you request the bassinet.
