Junior VIPS

• We believe that for children flying with us, it should be a fun and memorable experience
That's why all kids on board will be offered a colourful backpack*
• Inside the pack (which children can take home with them) are all kinds of goodies, including stationery, games and activity books
• The fun even extends to food -- we serve children's meals with colourful cutlery
• Special infant and junior meals are also available for very young children and toddlers.
