What age is a child on British Airways? 

British Airways considers a child to be the passenger between the age of 2 years and 11 years. Children in this age bracket need to occupy their own seat on the plane and also need a ticket, which is normally bought at a child rate, and the sale is normally at around 75 percent of the adult fare. They also have the privilege of having their own baggage allowance in addition to the fact that they can not be seated on the lap of an adult.

Children who are below 2 years are regarded as infants. Infants are accommodated on the lap of an adult and the price can be 10% of the adult price and this is a big saving when the flight is long-haul. British Airways umnr policy allows children above 14 years of age to travel alone in the flight whereas young children below the age of 14 years have to travel with an adult who is over the age of 16 years. 

British Airways categorizes travelers as:

• Infants: Under 2 years, travel on lap.
• Children: 2 to 11 years, own seat.
• Adolescents and Adults: From 12 years upward.

The policy makes traveling safe, comfortable, and convenient to families with kids of various ages.
