Pal Airlines Baggage Policy provides specific accommodations for passengers traveling with infants and children, making family travel more manageable. Passengers traveling with an infant (under two years of age) are permitted one fully collapsible stroller or pushchair and one diaper bag completely free of charge. This allowance is crucial for parents navigating busy airports, as these bulky but necessary items can be cumbersome to carry. Furthermore, if you are traveling with a child between the ages of two and 14, Pal Airlines' policy allows you to add a free checked bag to your reservation, provided the child is traveling on the same booking. This is an excellent benefit that effectively grants one free checked bag for families with young children, directly countering the airline's otherwise strict pay-as-you-go model. However, it's important to note that standard size and weight restrictions still apply to this free bag. Any additional bags for the child or any checked items for the infant beyond the stroller and diaper bag will incur standard fees. Car seats are also permitted and are considered a special item. A car seat can be checked as a separate piece of baggage, and while fees may apply depending on its size and weight, it is generally recommended to bring it as checked luggage for safety and convenience, rather than attempting to travel with it as carry-on. When packing for young children, remember that formula, breast milk, and baby food are permitted in reasonable quantities through security and can be carried on, though they are subject to the liquid rules. Parents should also be aware that while a diaper bag is free, its contents, like baby wipes or creams, do not count towards your personal item or carry-on allowance. To streamline your journey, pre-purchasing any necessary additional checked bags online for your child's belongings is highly recommended, as it is significantly cheaper than paying at the airport. Always clearly label all items, including the stroller and car seat, with your name and contact information to prevent loss during transit. For passengers with specific medical needs, essential medical equipment and medications are generally permitted. It is highly advisable to carry a doctor's prescription or a letter explaining the medical necessity for any medications, especially liquids or injectables that may exceed the standard liquid allowance. A limited quantity of medical oxygen is also permitted with prior arrangement and approval from the airline. Declaring any medical equipment at check-in is essential to ensure it is handled correctly and to avoid any issues during security screening. Always check the latest regulations on the Pal Airlines website or by contacting their customer service to confirm the requirements for traveling with medical necessities.
