Japan Airlines
Kids Fares JAL does not have a fixed rate child fare as fares are as variable as adult fares. Child fares cover those aged two to 12 years. Zero to twos are considered infants and an adult is a passenger over the age of 12.
Kids Luggage Allowance Babies traveling on a 10 per cent fare are allocated 10kgs, sum weight, for checked baggage plus either one fully collapsible stroller/ pram or baby carrying basket or car seat. Children aged over two years can carry the same allowance as adults, which is 20 kgs, sum weight.
Kids Entertainment The MAGIC in-flight entertainment operates on JAL flights beyond Japan. It has children’s movies, a Disney Channel, a selection of video games and a children’s music channel (Japanese only). On aircraft with the latest version of the MAGIC system (MAGIC IV), children can occupy themselves by reading, listening to and interacting with two video storybook programs: Spot the Dog and Bob the Builder.
Kids Meals Babies receive their own "JAL Baby Cruise" kits; one for babies up to eight months old and the other for those nine months and older. Packed in an cute blue and yellow pouch, the up-to-eight-months set includes two types of strained baby food in small jars, a JAL baby spoon in the shape of a little airplane, a bib decorated with a JAL Baby Cruise logo and a straw. The nine-months-and-older kit varies depending on the route flown. On Japan to Australia flights, a warm meal such as a vegetable casserole will be served alongside a banana, crackers, bread and pudding. You will need to reserve a set for baby at the time of booking the flights. Special child meals require 24 hours advance notice. Typical selections include a hamburger, steak with gravy sauce, spaghetti, macaroni gratin, bread, cookies, a fruit-based dessert and yoghurt.
Kids Packs JAL kids entertainment kits vary in content depending on the route. For example, two types of kits are available on US and Europe routes (excluding Honolulu): a stationary kit with pencils, a ruler, notepad and eraser, and a refresher kit with a cup, toothbrush, hairbrush and tissues. Also on offer are model planes, picture books, playing cards, origami, building blocks and soft toys, depending on the route. Kid’s books and magazines are also available on board.
Babies on board There are bassinets available, but you must book ahead. On board, baby kits, which contain nappies, wipes, bottled baby food, baby snacks, powdered milk, a baby bottle, spoon, cotton bib, pouch, straw, and tray mat, are offered if requested, although supplies are limited.
