Turkish Airlines has specific guidelines regarding traveling with newborn babies. Newborns who are under 48 hours old cannot be accepted on their flights. However, if your infant is between 2 to 7 days old, you can still travel with them if you provide a medical report confirming that it is safe for the baby to travel by plane. This medical report should state that there is no harm in flying with the newborn. It's important to adhere to these regulations and ensure the safety and well-being of your baby when planning your trip with Turkish Airlines.
