Special Assistance

Booking Special Assistance

When making a reservation, the passenger must report his/her condition as a passenger with special needs and request information about the airport of departure and final destination, in order to be clear that both airports have the necessary conditions for a passenger of his/her condition. Passengers can complete the special request form at the time of booking, or contact our customer service team. Likewise, when you arrive at the airport, two to three hours before, you must request immediate attention for your condition.

This passenger would be boarded first in the aircraft, so that he/she can be placed inside it in the safest and most comfortable way for him/her, without having the pressure of the other passengers boarding the aircraft. It should also be disembarked last so as not to cause pressure from other passengers. If the passenger travels with his/her wheelchair, it can be used up to the door of the plane and later it will be accommodated in the freight hold of the aircraft, without any cost and with priority over the other baggage. This passenger will not be charged any additional cost, unless his/her condition requires him/her to occupy more than one seat in the aircraft.

Flying with Infants and Children

Infants under 2 years are considered infants and do not need their own seats. This must be made clear at the time of booking. But on international flights, babies will be charged 10% on the published fare. Infants who require seats must travel with a ticket (child rate), which is equivalent to 75% of the adult rate.
