Traveling with the family

Travelling with young kids? YQB strives to make your time at the airport as simple and pleasant as possible. Here are a few handy tips and an overview of our services for families.

Baggage

If you’re travelling with a child under the age of 2, here are the items you can bring in your carry-on:

  • baby food and formula

  • milk, water and juice

  • medication

  • ice packs to keep everything cold

These items are exempt from the restrictions on liquids, but have to be inspected separately at security. To learn more, visit the CATSA website.

Stroller and car seat

Are you travelling with a stroller or car seat?
Check with your airline to see if you can use your stroller in the terminal and check it at the gate.
Once you’ve reached your destination, you can easily collect your stroller or car seat when you disembark the plane.
