Each airline has its own terms and conditions for travelling with children. These rules apply to:

• pregnant women;
• newborns and young children;
• unaccompanied children;
• the use of baby seats in aircraft cabins and other specific details.

Planning to travel with little ones or have your kids flying solo? Please make sure you are aware of your airline's terms and conditions for travelling with kids either on their website or by calling the airline. Contact details of airlines operating at the Riga Airport are available HERE.

In addition to a personal identity document (passport or ID card), your child may need other documentation to cross the state border, such as a notarised parental power of attorney. Travel arrangements for children are stipulated by the Cabinet Regulation No. 721 Procedures by which Children Cross the State Border.

If you have any questions or concerns about child travel arrangements or any other travel-related issues:

• call the State Border Guard’s 24/7 helpline at +371 67075718 or +371 67075616;
• send an e-mail [email protected];
• visit the Border Guard's website www.rs.gov.lv and look for answers to your questions under the sections Border crossings and Questions and answers.

Check the exact terms and conditions for travelling with a child in your country of destination before the trip. A great way to do this is by getting in touch with the country's diplomatic mission.

To make travelling with young children easier, complementary baby strollers are available in the passenger area of the airport terminal. They can be found at the most important junctions of passenger flow:

• For departing passengers – immediately after security check;
• For arriving passengers – at the non-Schengen arrivals on the 1st floor, as well as in boarding gates B and C;
• Transfers – at arrivals entrance E (Schengen arrivals), as well as at non-Schengen arrivals on the 1st floor, at the border crossing point.

The baby strollers are specifically marked with our logo. Please note that the number of baby strollers is limited and they may not be available during peak hours.

We’ve created three fun playgrounds to keep our young passengers entertained:

• The ‘Ergo’ playground for active and creative activities is located at the boarding gate B5;
• ‘The Da Vinci Aircraft’ can be found near boarding gate C4;
• The ‘In the Clouds’ is located near boarding gate C20 (non-Schengen area).

We have equipped four baby rooms for families traveling with infants. Their locations are marked on the terminal map HERE.

In airport cafes, restaurants, as well as 'Narvesen' kiosks, hot water for preparing baby food is available free of charge, and it is also possible to heat food for the baby free of charge.

Families with children who are travelling alone from Riga Airport to a Schengen country have the opportunity to accompany their child to the departure gate.

• Attention! The service is available only when traveling with an airline that offers to purchase the unaccompanied child service together with the flight ticket!
