A bassinet can be made available for your 0-2 year-old baby only if you have requested it. According to Emirates infant policy, a bassinet will not be provided if you booked a normal seat with child's fare rates. The aim of this Air1Network blog is to discuss how Emirates can help if you travel with your 0-2 years old baby.

Can I carry my own device on Emirates with me?

 Booking a usual seat with child's fare does not make you automatically eligible for a bassinet. Emirates is available +1-800-777-3999 to let you know how you can get a bassinet.  This airline allows you to travel with car seats or any other device to keep your child safe during take-offs, turbulence, and landings. You need not pay for them because they are included in Emirates infant baggage allowance. Emirates has some restrictions on the types of restraint harnesses and the cabins in which they can be allowed. To make travelling more passenger-friendly, Emirates allows all the types in Economy and Premium Economy. But, in First class, you will not be able to travel with such a device. The airline provides bassinets to First Class passengers travelling with 0-2 years old children. Take a look at the types of devices which have been allowed on Emirates.
