reenews.net... Do babies sharing a parents seat get a separate boarding card ? If so security at the departure point would also be at fault. If not - maybe they should - or someone might go and hide a laptop in one Yes, they do. I travelled frequently with my son when he was under 2 and he always got a boarding card, on every carrier (mostly Easyjet but some others too). The card wasn't always marked with his name - sometimes just "infant familyname" but he always had one. His documentation was *always* checked and I'm confident there's no way he would have been allowed to travel if he hadn't been properly documented. |

I don't know why this is considered a blunder by Ryanair. I think it was a blunder by the family to ask an airline ticket clerk what travel documents they needed for an infant. As I understand the article, the child had no documents at all and was not on either of the parents' passport. There has been a good deal of infant trafficking in Italy recently and the Italian police were justifiably suspicious of a totally undocumented baby being brought into the country. Of course, they never should have been allowed to board the plane, but the parents bear a greater responsibility than Ryanair in this matter. I'm not sure I can agree. At least here in the U.S., one assumes that an airline employee entrusted with booking overseas flights knows the basic regulations for same. (Such as who requires a passport, and whether or not visas are required by the country being visited.) |

I just looked on the UK passport website. No where could I find a statement that said all children have to have their own passports nowadays, which I think is the case. In the old days they could be on a parent's passport, until they really needed one of their own. See http://www.passport.gov.uk/passport_child_law.asp |

Do they - If they specifically asked Ryanair for specific advice ? Who were they supposed to ask for advice ? I would guess the logical people to ask would be the representatives of the government of the country they are going to.... you know, the Italian consular people. |

There is no way that child should have been checked in, then let through security or then let on an aircraft. Ryanair in the airport of departure are completely at fault. Since the baby wouldn't have gotten the passport in time, they would have still been out the money for the plane tickets and the other expenses. |

I would guess the logical people to ask would be the representatives of the government of the country they are going to.... you know, the Italian consular people. That might cover the "getting into Italy" part, but not perhaps the "getting out of the UK" or the "getting onto a plane" parts. The three sets of rules are not necessarily identical! The one organisation with experience of all three is the airline. -- Roland Perry |
