i have not even flown with them yet but i am appalled that they do not offer any bassinet option seating for a 4 month old baby on an international flight over 5 hrs!!

To add the flight is from 2am so it is overnight when the baby needs to sleep and not be seated on someones lap! Mind you the baby cant even sit up properly so how is this safe?

Only other option offered....buy another seat to place the baby's car seat on...eaxtra ticket does not provide any additional baggage allowance or meals but it is full price??? how on earth does this make sense!!!

Airlines are not required to offer a bassinet onboard. The airline I work for does not and we fly some long sectors such as Florida to Peru and cross country flights from the east coast to the west coast and Trinidad and Aruba to the Northeast. Aegean is it not required to offer bassinets onboard. I personally think that if you are not prepared to travel with your infant on your lap or purchase a seat for he/she/it, you may want to consider waiting on taking your trip until said child is old enough to sit in an airplane seat. Keep this in mind that if you want then everyone else is going to want to the bassinet will require a reconfiguration of seats, and if one breaks, it is not always easy to fix.
