Children before their twelfth birthday are entitled to several fare discounts and a special assistance.

Services at the airport

At Rome Fiumicino airport you will find an 'Amica' Lounge (Terminal A, opening hours 05:30-24:00, ph. +39 06 65634575) equipped with a nursery with kitchenette, utensils and baby-care items.

Services on board

On intercontinental flights, you will find bassinettes for use by children under two years of age.* When booking flights for children between 2 and 11 (before the 12th birthday), you can ask for a 'children’s meal' containing a selection of things which most children like. This service is not available on domestic flights.

An infant who has not reached his or her 2nd birthday may not occupy a seat and must be accompanied by either a parent, or an adult over 18 (the parent can be under 18, as long as he or she has legal responsibility for the child). It must be pointed out in any case on the accompanying adult's reservation.

* Some aircraft have bassinettes for use on board, to be handed back to the cabin staff at the end of the flight. Our 'bassinette-on-board' service should be booked when you get your ticket. If this service should not be available, you can take your own bassinette into the cabin, making sure first that it fits in the space available, otherwise it will have to be placed in the baggage hold.

For young passengers between the ages of 5 and 14 (who have not yet reached their 15th birthday) traveling alone - or with another passenger under the age of 18 years old, - Alitalia takes very special measures to guarantee the child’s safety at all times.
