General Rules
- Babies up to 2 years old (not yet 2) can travel on domestic flights without paying for the airfare. On international flights, they pay 10% of the adult fare. On both domestic and international flights, the baby must travel on the lap of a responsible adult over 18 years of age.
- Only one infant per passenger is allowed. In the case of twins, two paying adults are required. For more information, visit the website of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
- GOL does not transport children aged 0 to 8 years old (not yet 8) unaccompanied by a responsible adult over 18 years of age.
How to include infants in your reservation
- If you are traveling with an infant under 2 years old, you must include their name when purchasing the ticket (see the image below for where to include the infant):
- If you have already made the purchase without including the baby's name, you can request this through our customer service center. Contact us by phone (0300 115 2121) or type "talk to an agent" in the chat with GAL. Remember: only one infant per customer is allowed. In the case of twins, two paying adults are required.
How to confirm infants are included in your reservation
- In the purchase confirmation sent by email, only the names of the passengers occupying seats on the plane appear. Therefore, you will not see the name of the child under two years old, as they travel on the lap of adults.
- You can view this information by accessing the My Bookings/Find Trip section on our website. The name of the child on the lap will appear below the name of the passenger responsible for them.
Luggage for infants
