Because airline child policies change — and parents shouldn’t have to hunt for answers.

Yes — you can bring a car seat on Avianca. Helpful points to make your trip smoother:

Using onboard: You must buy a separate ticket for the child to use a car seat onboard. The car seat must be an approved child restraint system (CRS) for aircraft use and installed according to the CRS manufacturer’s instructions.
Gate-check or checked: You can usually gate-check or check a car seat if you prefer not to use it in the cabin. Bring a protective bag to reduce damage.
Fit and placement: The CRS must fit into one airplane seat and not block aisles. Exit rows or certain bulkhead seats may be restricted for CRS use — ask at check‑in.
Label and manual: Have the CRS approval label and the manufacturer’s instructions available; staff may ask to confirm aircraft compatibility.
Fees and allowances: Many airlines allow one car seat/stroller as infant equipment without an extra baggage fee, but allowances can vary by route/fare — check with Avianca for your specific flight.
At check-in: Tell the agent you plan to use a car seat so they can advise on seat assignment and gate‑check procedure.
