Airline Policies for Personal Comfort Aids
This page is a practical starting point for families travelling with personal comfort aids — such as portable seat supports, footrests, or privacy hoods.
These items are generally treated as personal comfort aids (similar to a travel pillow or blanket), not child restraint systems. SlumbaPak products fall into this category: they do not inflate, do not attach to the aircraft seat, and are secured only by the aircraft seatbelt.
Important
Airline policies can change. Final acceptance is determined by each airline’s own policies and procedures, which cabin crew apply on the day. Many airline websites do not specifically mention personal comfort aids, so we recommend checking directly with your carrier before you travel and carrying product information with you. Always follow the crew’s instructions onboard.
How to Use This List
Click through to your airline’s child travel or special assistance page. Look for any information on comfort items, seat accessories, or devices that are not formal child restraints. If nothing is listed, it does not automatically mean the item is banned — it often means the airline has no specific written policy and the decision will be made according to their operational procedures.
