Baby strollers are allowed on flights served by Qatar Airways

A stroller is always necessary for traveling, parents are not tied to the child’s diet, the latter does not get tired and can take a nap whenever he wants, and it is convenient to put everything in the stroller when the child asks his arms. Do all parents care about how to carry a stroller andon a plane?

Parents traveling with a baby cannot do without a stroller or pram. However, before the flight, it is necessary to clarify the rules and regulations that apply to strollers by air carriers including Qatar Airways.

The Asian airline allows the transport of strollers on the plane. The established standards allow a stroller to be transported both in the luggage compartment and in the cabin of the aircraft. And some models of strollers are even allowed to be used as hand luggage.

If you book a flight with Qatar Airways, you can take a lightweight stroller with you, while you check in and complete the necessary paperwork, the baby will be able to sleep there peacefully and will not distract you. Remember that parents with children do not go through security checks.

The stroller is carried in the cabin of the aircraft as hand baggage or checked in as regular baggage.

Like most airlines, Qatar Airways allows the use of strollers and walking sticks inside the airport, as well as their use directly up to the bridge. Immediately before boarding, strollers are handed over to flight attendants and upon arrival they are handed over to the oversized baggage department.

In the case of a passenger traveling with a stroller, but without an infant, the stroller must be checked in in the luggage compartment. Please note that the weight of the stroller will be added to the weight of the main baggage.

The stroller must be returned to the check-in counter, you can use it before entering the sleeve or before boarding the plane, or you can take it with you in the cabin of the plane (it is better to clarify the details in advance, then there will be no surprises at the airport). Most of them allow the use of a stroller up to the gangway at the request of the passenger.

Which strollers are suitable for carry-on baggage parameters at Qatar Airways?

The Qatar Airways airline allows you to bring a stroller (folded), a carrycot or a car seat in the cabin at no additional cost.

Usually it is allowed to take a compact folding stroller into the cabin with a cane. If the airport has a fragile baggage category and the stroller is handed over at the check-in counter, then it is advisable to check-in the stroller marked for manual loading.

The stroller can be carried free of charge or included in the baggage allowance. It can be accepted against one piece of baggage, separate room, oversized baggage or excess baggage.

In any case, the stroller must be in a cover, cellophane, you can wrap it with a sponge, there must be a label on the stroller with the contact details of the owners of the stroller, in case of any misunderstanding.

The stroller can be obtained from the gangway, if agreed with the flight attendant, on the regular baggage belt or at the non-standard baggage counter.

To lighten the weight of the stroller, you should remove all the accessories – the hood, the basket and leave only the cup holder for the water bottle and mosquito net.

If a passenger is traveling without children, the stroller is almost always carried as regular baggage.

If your stroller does not meet the parameters of a hand luggage, then before putting it in the luggage compartment, you must:

– Fold the stroller carefully and pack it well to avoid damage and dirt;

– To reduce weight, remove the hood, cup holder, basket and other components of the stroller;

– Refuse to use expensive strollers while traveling;

– If necessary, mark “fragile load” on the stroller;

– Attach a tag with name and contact details to the stroller.
