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
Domestic flights:
If you are traveling with an infant on domestic flights, you may bring:
- 01 stroller (which may consist of multiple parts, provided they form a single unit) OR 01 infant car seat.
You may choose to take the stroller to the aircraft door. There, you must check the item in.
If you need to bring other items, they will be deducted from the parents' or guardians' baggage allowance.
International flights:
If you are traveling with an infant on international flights, you may bring:
- 01 bag or backpack weighing up to 10 kg
- 01 stroller (which may consist of multiple parts, provided they form a single unit) OR 01 infant car seat.
You may choose to take the stroller to the aircraft door. There, you must check the item in.
If you need to bring other items, they will be deducted from the parents' or guardians' baggage allowance.
Important:
Only fully collapsible strollers ("umbrella" style) will be permitted as carry-on baggage, subject to available space on board.
Documents needed to travel with infants
- You must present a valid document proving the family relationship, such as:
- Birth certificate (original, certified copy, or digital format); or
- National ID card (RG) (original or certified copy); or
- Valid passport.
- If the document presented does not prove the family relationship between the accompanying adult and the infant, an authorization must be provided. This must be in the form of a public deed or a private document with a notarized signature (verified by signature comparison or authenticity) expressly authorized by the mother, father, or legal guardian.
Please note: The Statute of the Child and Adolescent and the National Council of Justice do not permit authorizations signed via digital signature platforms such as GOV.BR, DocuSign, ClickSign, D4Sign, TOTVS, and others. Only documents bearing a notarized signature or judicial authorizations are accepted.
- If the authorization does not specify an expiration date, it is considered valid for two years from the date of issuance.
A police report (*Boletim de Ocorrência* or B.O.) is not a valid document for boarding children aged 0 to under 13. Acceptance of a police report for children (aged 0 to under 13) is subject to consultation with the local Children and Youth Court.
