Parents traveling with infants under two years old may choose to keep the child on their lap rather than purchasing a separate seat +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) In such cases, the airline still attempts to seat the parent comfortably and may assign bulkhead seating if a bassinet has been requested +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Bulkhead seats offer extra space and are commonly used by families traveling with infants +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) If a separate seat is purchased for a child under two, parents can select adjacent seats to ensure they remain together throughout the journey +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

For children older than two years, Etihad requires a separate seat to be purchased +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Once the ticket is issued,  +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) log into the booking management portal to view the aircraft seat map and select seats that suit your family +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) The seat map displays available seats, extra-legroom options, and premium seating areas +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Families often choose seats in the same row or across the aisle so they can remain close together while also having enough space for comfort +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

If you did not select seats during booking, another opportunity becomes available during online check-in +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Online check-in usually opens around 30 hours before departure for Etihad flights +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) At this stage, remaining seats can be selected without additional complications +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Families who check in early typically have a better chance of securing seats together +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) If you wait until the airport check-in counter, seat availability may be limited depending on how full the flight is +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

Another option for parents is to contact the airline directly to request family seating assistance +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Customer service agents can review your reservation and try to arrange seats together if the system did not automatically assign them +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) If your flight is nearly full, the airline may still be able to move passengers or adjust seat assignments to ensure children are seated next to a parent or guardian +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) If you need help selecting seats for your child,  +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) contact support at +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) where trained staff can review your booking and guide you through the options available +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

Parents should also consider the location of the seats when selecting them for children +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Seats closer to the wings often provide a smoother ride because there is less turbulence compared to the rear of the aircraft +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Families sometimes prefer aisle seats for easier access to the restroom or overhead compartments +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Others prefer window seats because they can keep children entertained during the flight +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) When traveling with toddlers or infants, bulkhead seats or front-row seats may provide additional space that makes the journey more comfortable +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

It is also important to understand that airlines operate under safety regulations that sometimes affect seat placement for families +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) For example, infants cannot be seated in exit rows, and certain seats may be restricted for passengers traveling with small children +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) The airline’s seat map usually indicates which seats are unavailable for families traveling with infants +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

Another factor to consider when selecting seats for your child is proximity to lavatories and galleys +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) While these areas can be convenient for families, they may also experience more foot traffic and noise during the flight +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Parents traveling with young children sometimes prefer quieter sections of the aircraft so their child can sleep comfortably during long journeys +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)

Beyond seat selection, parents should also stay informed about their flight schedule +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Checking Etihad flight status regularly helps you avoid surprises such as delays, cancellations, or gate changes +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) One of the easiest ways to check flight status is through the airline’s official website +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK) Simply enter your flight number or route details in the flight status section to receive real-time updates about departure time, arrival time, and terminal information +1-(844) 444–0079 (US) Or +44→808→196→8684 (UK)
