Kids buggy on flight question?

finbarrk · 2009-05-30 10:02:00

We are on an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Bulgaria next week and I have only booked in 2 bags to be checked in. Are we allowed to bring the kids buggy to the airplane door and then let the stewards take it to the hold like the charter flights? Or will I have to get it checked in?

Some airlines tag the buggies as well, but you can just take it through the airport to the gate with you where they will stick it in the hold.

Yes you take it right up to the boarding gate where they will take it from you there. Somebody will grab them all and stick them in the hold.

Usually with Aer Lingus because you use the steps and walk across the tarmac, they will be waiting at the bottom of the steps for you.
