Children's fixed price – how it works
Many tour operators (TUI, alltours, Schauinsland) offer children's fixed prices: the child pays a set, low amount instead of the regular price – or even travels free of charge if sharing the parents' room. Important: age is calculated on the return travel day.
Travel tips for families
- Prefer direct flights – connecting flights with toddlers are stressful.
- Early morning flights: the child continues sleeping on the plane.
- Secure seat reservations, otherwise you won't be seated together.
- Pack a travel first-aid kit and sunscreen SPF 50+ for children.
- Don't forget the child's own passport.
