Thai Airways car seat and stroller policy
A parent's guide to Thai Airways rules for baby gear. Learn about checking a foldable stroller or car seat for free and using a car seat on board.
Thai Airways allows you to check a foldable stroller at no extra charge. One foldable stroller, car seat, or wheelchair may be transported free of charge per passenger, provided the item is necessary for the passenger’s use. If you plan to use a car seat on the plane for a baby under 2 years old, you must buy a separate seat at a child’s fare and the car seat must be FAA-approved.
Airline policies can be updated, so it is always a good idea to confirm these rules directly with Thai Airways when you book your travel and ask about any specific requirements for your trip.
