Delta Airlines® has specific policies to accommodate families with children, ensuring that young passengers are seated safely and comfortably during their flights. Whether you're flying with an infant, toddler, or young child, it’s important to understand the seating rules to avoid any confusion or discomfort.
No Seat Required: Infants under 2 years old can fly on your lap without requiring an additional seat. However, you must inform Delta Airlines® at the time of booking that you will be traveling with an infant.
Infant Fare: While there is no charge for infants under 2 who will be seated on your lap, you may need to pay for an infant fare if you want to book a seat for your infant.
Safety Requirements: Delta Airlines® recommends that infants remain on your lap with a special seatbelt designed for their safety during takeoff, landing, and turbulence.
For help, call (☎️+1(888)718-4742) to ensure your infant is booked correctly.
Dedicated Seat: Children aged 2 and older must have their own seat. This applies to all passengers, including those under 12.
Car Seat Use: If you wish, you can bring an approved child safety seat (car seat) on board for your child. It must meet FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) standards and be installed in an appropriate seat, facing forward.
Seating Arrangement: You can choose a seat together with your child by selecting it during the booking process or after checking in. Delta strives to seat children and their parents together, but this isn’t always guaranteed, especially for last-minute bookings.
Priority Boarding: If your child has special needs or is traveling with a disability, you are entitled to priority boarding to help you and your child board the plane comfortably. You can request this when booking or by calling Delta customer service.
Seating Arrangements: Special seating arrangements can be made for children with disabilities. If you need specific seating for your child, it is highly recommended to contact Delta Airlines® directly.

Service Fee: An additional fee applies for the unaccompanied minor service, and it includes special supervision and assistance during the flight.
Seating Assignment: Delta ensures that unaccompanied minors are seated in a specific section of the plane, typically near the flight attendants for extra care. You can request this service during booking.
Before Flight: It’s important to inform Delta of any special instructions or concerns regarding your child’s travel. Parents or guardians can track the unaccompanied minor’s flight in real-time.

Bulkhead and Window Seats: Parents may prefer bulkhead or window seats for extra space or privacy. When booking, ensure you request these seats if needed.
