According to the airline's policy, passengers over the age of 2 are required to have their own seats. In this case, your toddler would need to occupy a separate seat for the flight.
To accommodate your child, you may consider purchasing a discounted child ticket if your toddler falls within the age range of 2 to 12. This way, your child can have a designated seat for added comfort and safety during the journey. It's essential to check with the airline for specific details on child ticket pricing and availability for your upcoming flight.
