Infant fare and lap-infant age
Infants under 2 for the whole journey travel on the lap on the INF fare, which Iberia says ranges from 10% to 30% of the companion's ticket. A baby in their own seat needs a CHD fare and an approved car seat. Iberia allows travel at any time after birth but recommends waiting 7 days.
Infant baggage allowance
INF and CHD tickets get the same free baggage allowance as the adult, plus a pushchair or car seat. You can also carry a bag with the baby's food, drink and flight essentials in addition to your hand luggage.
Pushchair and stroller rules
Free. Take it to the aircraft door: if there's space it can come into the cabin, otherwise crew put it in the hold and return it at the aircraft door. Not guaranteed at every airport; where buggies are banned in terminals, or on connections, collect it at the baggage carousel. Or check it in free with your bags.
