Children's fixed price – how it works
Many tour operators (TUI, alltours, Schauinsland) offer children's fixed prices: the child pays a fixed, low amount instead of the regular price – or even travels free when sleeping in the parents' room. Important: the age is calculated as of the return travel day.
Travel tips for families
- Prefer direct flights – connecting flights with young children are stressful.
- Early morning flights: children sleep on the plane.
- Secure seat reservations, otherwise you won't sit together.
- Pack a travel first-aid kit and SPF 50+ sun cream for children.
- Don't forget each child's own passport.
