Minimum age for newborn to fly

 

So what's the minimum age for a newborn baby to take a flight?

There is no standard minimum age restriction for babies flying on aircraft. These restrictions are set by individual airlines - for example on Air Canada a baby must be 7 days old, whereas on Alaska Airlines there is no age restriction. Some airlines may require a doctor's note before they will allow you to fly with a newborn. If in doubt, check with the airline you intend to fly with for any restrictions.
