for missing a scheduled flight.

one adult can take on board?
One adult can take at most three children or one infant
and two children, or two infants (one of the infants
should buy a children's ticket).
Do I need to pay special attention to infants when the plane
is taking off, landing or during the flight?
Because there will be pressure in the cabin caused by
the change in altitude when the plane is taking off
or landing, your infant may cry because of discomfort
in the ears. This is a normal situation. During these
times, you can give the infant a nursing bottle or feed
it, which will help relieve the pressure in the ears.
If your infant has special needs, you can bring your
own infant foods or snacks.
