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

 

Bringing a changing pad on an Avianca flight

 

Yes — you can bring a changing pad when traveling with a baby on Avianca. Changing pads are considered baby care items and are normally allowed in the cabin. If your pad is large or rigid it may count toward your carry‑on allowance, so it’s best to carry it inside your diaper bag or attach it to your stroller.

  • Security: The pad will need to be screened at security like other carry‑on items.
  • Pack smart: Foldable or inflatable pads fit easily inside a diaper bag and avoid extra baggage charges.
  • If bulky: Gate‑check the stroller or the pad if the item won’t fit in the overhead bin—arrive early to arrange this.
  • Other baby items: Breast milk, formula and baby food have special screening exceptions; wipes and disposable liners are fine.
  • If unsure: Contact Avianca before travel for confirmation about size or allowance on your specific fare.
