- Well, you can forget about frequent trips, -My friend Svetlana was sad, becoming a mother. - Minus my salary, plus expenses for a children's ticket. What kind of trips are there. But, having thoroughly studied this question, Sveta became cheerful. A few months later she was already warming herself with the crumb on the seashore. "It turned out that for the child there is practically nothing to pay at all. If this, of course, is not a low-coster, - she shared with pleasant information. - But they have cheaper so far. We are interested in how much cheaper. Now tell.Photo: GettyImages

Before the children's two years

Usually for these kids a separate ticket to buydo not. Flight crumbs will be held on the lap of the parent, fastened with a special children's belt. Very small on board can give a cradle if the airline provides such a service. Now about the money. Traveling with such a small passenger in Russia is generally free. A ticket abroad from the base airlines costs one-tenth of the cost of a regular ticket. As a rule, this is not even the payment itself, but a fuel surcharge and boarding pass. As for the budget carriers, they usually set a fixed tariff for the crumbs. For example, the "Victory" is 1499 rubles for flights abroad. But the rule applies: one parent - one child. That is, if Mummy alone travels with two children, then she already has to buy a ticket for the second baby according to the "children's" tariff. And about the low-costers. Funny, but sometimes it is even more profitable to buy a baby a separate place, flying flights of budget companies. If the loukoster arranges an action-sale, the cost of an adult ticket in this case can be twice less than a fixed children's tariff.

Date is important

Of course, you can always give up cheapnessin favor of comfort. And take for your child a separate place on the children's tariff. Maybe you put it there and will not, but you can comfortably arrange all the children's things, which for sure will be a lot. Another point to pay attention to: the age of the baby will be determined not by the date you bought the ticket, but by day of travel. So I drove my son south to my grandmother for free, to celebrate his birthday. Returned back two days later, and this ticket already cost me a certain amount of money. Because Tim went unnoticed into the next category. And more about her.Photo: GettyImages

From two to twelve years

A grown-up baby should be kept on your knees, you must agree,not easy. Therefore, after two years the child is a full-fledged flight passenger with his own seat. And no one will carry it for free. Low-costers in the majority take from you full cost of the ticket, the same as for the adult passenger. Large airlines make discounts - from 25 to 50 percent of the cost of the flight. The more expensive the ticket, the greater the discount. This applies to regular flights. Charters children also fly for a full price. And more nuances- Children under five can fly only accompanied by a parent or another adult passenger. - Children from 5 to 12 years fly accompanied by an adult or under the supervision of the airline staff. At the same time, the cost of a ticket for a child without adults will be full, and the service of supervision will have to be paid. Aeroflot, for example, has 3,400 rubles for flights in Russia and 40 euros for traveling abroad. - Children from 12 to 16 years old can fly independently, but if necessary, they can look after them at the request of their parents.
