Travel policies

Infants

Infants are defined as children under two years of age. Infants may fly without a seat on the plane, just on the lap of an accompanying adult. If you wish, you can buy a seat for an infant at the infant fare. For example, one adult may travel with two infants. In this case, you need to buy one seat for one infant, and the other can be on the adult's lap.

Mauritania Airlines FAQs

Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with Mauritania Airlines.

Does Mauritania Airlines’ two-piece 23 kg allowance also apply domestically?

No. International Economy allows two 23 kg pieces, Business three. Domestic allowances are 20 kg Economy and 30 kg Business. Extra charges depend on itinerary.

Does a Mauritania Airlines child’s ticket automatically arrange unaccompanied care?

No. Obtain prior agreement, register the child for the service and pay the supplement. Confirm age eligibility with sales before ticketing: the page’s age wording conflicts.

Can one adult accompany two under-two infants on Mauritania Airlines?

The published rule requires at least one accompanying adult for each under-two infant. Arrange adequate accompaniment with the airline before booking.

Is Tassoufra membership free, and do Mauritania Airlines award tickets earn miles?

Membership is free from age two, with one account each. Qualifying operated flights earn miles; award, reduced-fare and free tickets do not.

How do Tassoufra award and status miles differ and expire?

Award miles redeem rewards and last 36 months. Status miles determine tier: 12 months for Blue/Silver/Gold, 24 for Prestige, then the status counter resets.

Do sufficient Tassoufra miles guarantee my chosen flight reward or upgrade?

No. Reward inventory may be limited or unavailable on a particular flight. Follow the current request and issuance process; miles alone are not confirmation.
