You can book anything that your child needs for free on most flights, actually virgin and jetstar definately do it from experience! You can book child seats, strollers, prams, port-a-cots, childrens luggage and all. They will take it, I've flown with both carriers you're going with and taken on a lot of stuff for the girls and they havent worried about it. Also you ask if you can keep the pram until the last minute, which is normally a couple of minutes before you board. Whcih is also handy.
yeah I took stuff like that last time (car seat etc). I just thought I'd seen something somewhere (!?!?) about there being a weight limit on the strollers (like 10kg or something?)... ah well looks fine! Thanks for the replies ladies. P&T it is!
I flew with both Jetstar and Virgin to Darwin in Jan/Feb this year, and took a big 3 wheeler pram with a toddler seat for that reason.. No issues at all.
Both websites say that they will carry a pram, port a cot, car seat, and other baby items free for infants with no weight mentioned.
I've flown Virgin half a dozen times with our P&T Vibe (plus 2 car seats AND a portacot) - no drama.
Depending on which airport you are at, some will let you take the pram to the gate, and they'll load it on about 20 mins before the flight is due to depart. At other airports you have to check it through.
We have to fly from regional WA to Sydney in June my only worry is what happens if they damage the pram or something? We had a issue with Virgin a couple years back where we couldn't even contact them regarding them smashing a parcel we had, it first got lost then when we got it we had to throw every that was packed with it out too.
