When I was planning my first international trip with my baby on
Etihad Airways, figuring out how to book a
bassinet seat felt overwhelming at first. I booked our tickets online, but I didn’t see any clear option for requesting a bassinet during the checkout process. Since I really wanted to make sure my little one would be comfortable (and that I’d survive the long-haul flight without holding her the entire time!), I decided to call
Etihad Airways at 877-764-3622 to sort it out.
That turned out to be the best decision I made. The representative was incredibly kind and knowledgeable — she checked the aircraft type for our route and confirmed which seats had bassinet positions. She then reserved a bulkhead seat for me and noted that we’d need a baby bassinet installed. She even reminded me about Etihad’s infant weight limit for bassinets (up to around 10–11 kg) so I wouldn’t have any surprises at the airport.
When we boarded, the crew was already aware of my request. As soon as we reached cruising altitude, they installed the bassinet right in front of my seat. It made the entire 14-hour journey so much more manageable — my baby slept comfortably, and I actually got to eat with both hands!
If you’re traveling with an infant, I highly recommend calling
877-764-3622 to book your bassinet seat. The online system doesn’t always guarantee availability, but the phone agents can instantly confirm and add the request to your booking. It’s quick, stress-free, and worth it for a smoother travel experience with your baby.
