Hi Sharon. This tends to vary from airline to airline, so the best advice would be to check with your airline directly. Generally speaking, it is really advisable for all families to pre-book relevant 'services' before flying. Services can include, provision of 'sky cots' you asked about, (also called bassinets): - these are in limited supply and are on a first come first serve basis, seating together, (somewhat surprisingly this is not as routine and you may expect and you may find yourself in a different row from your child!), extra legroom bulkhead seats at the front of the plane, kids' meals, kids' goodie bags, bottle warming facilities and changing facilities. Also ask the airline whether you can take your buggy onto the aircraft or you have to check it in. Keeping it with you means your baby has somewhere to rest, in relative peace, between check-in and boarding. Early check in is also very useful, as it will give your baby time to settle before take off. Singapore airlines, for example, also allow you to take your own car seat. "You may use approved car seats onboard for your child. The seat must be able to be secured onto the aircraft passenger seat by means of the aircraft safety belt and must conform to all applicable safety standards certified for use in aircraft." We hope this helps you all to have an peaceful and enjoyable trip! Do let us know how you get on - Take the Family Team
