How do I book with an unborn baby?

Modified on: Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 3:28 PM

Each airline has its own policies for booking flights with an unborn baby.

To book, please use today's date as the placeholder for the baby's birth date. This will need to be updated once the baby is born. You can contact us via Chat to do this.

Select 'Master' or 'Miss' based on the anticipated gender; if it’s a surprise, just choose one - you can, again, update these details with us via Live Chat once the baby is born.

If the airline requires that the baby be added only after birth, be aware that there will be additional costs. You'll need to pay these at the time of adding the infant. 

These costs vary by airline, and we can provide specific pricing when you add the infant to your booking.
