not sure about that airline specifically... BUT i think any airline lets you gate check things like strollers and carseats for free. That means you would take it all the way to the gate, and leave it right outside the door of the plane for them to take it down. THEN coming home, you wait right outside the door of the plane to collect it. ALTHOUGH- double strollers i think they make you check them with your other checked bags, because of how big they are ( We just went to Disney and United airlines wouldn't let us gate check the double stroller because it was "oversized" but we've gate checked a single stroller fine...

Re: Traveling Question

Can you bring the carseat on the plane and let your child sit in it?
I say that because I would be nervous to check a car seat.
They toss stuff around really bad and I feel like it might get damaged and a damaged carseat is unsafe

Re: Traveling Question

I'd have your child sit in the car seat on the plane 1) for your child's safety (do you really want them potentially being literally thrown around the plane in an instance of bad turbulence.) and 2) as pp mentioned, workers are not gentle with checked luggage

This. It's what we've always done. Had DS sit in car seat on plane until he was 4. It was easier that way.
