In-flight Services

Correct Way of Sitting (Passengers accompanied by a child not occupying their own seat)

Fasten the seat belt over yourself only, and hold your baby securely on your lap above the seat belt. If you are using a baby carrier, fasten your seat belt first and then put on the carrier.

Bassinet (Please reserve in advance by telephone)(by 48 hours prior to departure)

Bassinets are provided on all international aircraft for infants not occupying a seat. Please apply by telephone.

Weight: maximum 10kg

The number and position of bassinet seats are limited.
First Class (on all aircrafts) are excluded from this service.
Please note that bassinets may differ depending on aircraft.

You will be able to find a lavatory which is equipped with a tabletop for changing diapers.

We also provide a special blanket for passengers who have requested a bassinet.
In addition to being gentle to the touch, the material used in this soft, light blanket strikes a great balance between heat retention, ventilation and absorbency to help your baby relax. Moreover, the blanket is made from the same type of fabric used in Uchino's Marshmallow Puff Gauze, which comes recommended by the Japan Atopic Dermatitis Patients Association.

When using portable bed products for children (such as JetKids BedBox or Fly-Tot), please use a window seat or a center seat in the section between the aisles as a general rule. (Hammock-type bed products cannot be used.)

These products cannot be used during taxiing, takeoff, landing, or when the fasten seat belt sign is turned on.

As with other carry-on baggage, carry-on beds must be stored in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front during these times.

Also during cruise, you may be asked to refrain from usage depending on the circumstances.

In order to ensure a safe and comfortable flight, the cabin attendants will check on seatbelt usage and that other passengers are not being inconvenienced.
