Flying with pets on China Express Airlines

Infants

Infants are considered to be passengers under two years, calculated based on their boarding date. If the infant does not occupy a separate seat and travels on an adult's lap (child on lap), the child fare applies to the infant. Infants less than 14 days old may not fly. A limited number of carrycots (except on ERJ/A321neo aircraft) are available on all flights for infants under six months of age. In addition, because cradle size is limited, cradle service will only be offered to infants under six months of age, up to 28 inches (71 cm) tall, and weighing up to 24.2 pounds (11 kg). The infant fare will be charged if an infant travels with an adult and does not occupy a separate seat.
