The Vueling company prefers your baby to travel on your lap, and its baggage allowance is non-existent, forcing you to pack all his or her belongings (including the changing bag) in your own suitcases. You can nevertheless take an approved baby seat with you by contacting customer service. The company’s only kids-friendly gesture: the boarding at no additional cost of a travel accessory, such as a stroller, a bassinet or a cradle.
