i travel with my baby when she was 1 month & 3 wks, her pedia gave me nose spray to be used 30 min. before take off. she already have her own passport & visa before we went on vacation to avoid hazzles. I paid 840 QR for the air fare.try to press the ears while take off & landing..

Nadt gave you correct info, the baby can be no less than 2 weeks old. I had to wait for my son to turn the magical age of 14 days before Qatar Airways would let him travel.

as ive told my previous post reply UP UP there, you see? the baby was born December 2008 and they will arrive next month from Egypt to Doha. You do the math. the infant doesnt have passport yet but she's under the mother's passport.

i think as per the new rule, seperate passport should be made for newly born babies, either of any national....

i heard it, but dont much aware, for all national's or for few...

Most airline policies allow travel for infants from two weeks old ..

i bought my baby girl when she was three weeks old. she is now healthy and fine. i normaly assume the baby can travel after two weeks from qatar airways. you have to feed baby during take off and landing to avoid pressure diffrence. and should keep your hands clean (by wet wipes) before you touch the baby to avoid contamination. visa can be obtained on arrival for the baby.

when he traveled for the first time....

As per doctor's advice and as Novita said, I gave him a bottle of milk during take off and landing...and everything was ok...

Just make sure to issue him passport and stamp the ikama (RP) on it before you travel.

my son first travel at 4 mths, as soon as he got his RP. Make sure you ready with bottle of milk for feeding during take off and landing because infant have a sensitive ear and the change air pressure in the cabin make the baby uncomfortable.

for the visa, better get it before the travel to avoid furture hassles.

but i would suggest that you let the baby grow old a few months more before you take him/her travelling on an airplane. just imagine even an adult do have some problms with air pressure inside the cabin of an aircraft, what more would a few weeks old or a month old baby feel about this? (he/she'll be crying all the way to your destination) if that's the case.

So to answer the question, i'm not certain if you are inquiring about Airlines policy or government visa policy....

If its the former, best thing to do is call QATAR AIRWAYS and ask them.

If it's the latter, then maybe there's a government agency you can ask? When my daughter was born (here in Doha), she didn't travel till she was 6 months old, but we were told the law was that she had to have a residency Visa within a month of being born....so by the time she travelled she had it.

Hope that helps somewhat, and good luck.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

Are you sure you didn't mean WATER Airways? I know of that one but not Watar Airways.
