Airline definitions of a child in terms of age are standard - an 'infant' is under 2 and a 'child' is between 2 and 11 years on the return date of travel. A 'child' must take up a seat on an aircraft. An 'infant' is not provided with a seat on an aircraft and is expected to sit on your lap for the whole of the flight. If you require a seat for an infant, the infant must be booked and paid for as a 'child'. Please refer to the applicable airline’s carriage conditions for details of the definition of child. A hotel's definition of a 'child' can and does vary, but is always advised at the time of booking.

Cots must be requested at the time of booking, and some hotels may charge a fee payable locally. We will advise the supplier of your requirements for a cot, but this request cannot be guaranteed. In these circumstances, we strongly advise you to make your own arrangements.

4.15 When you book with CX on the Website, a valid credit card is required to complete the transaction. Once you press the ‘Confirm Booking Request’ button, CX is entitled to debit your credit card.

Despite our best efforts, prices advertised on our Website may vary from time to time and may differ from the actual price quoted due to factors outside our control.
