Babies get special treatment too with a range of yummy baby meals for you to choose from, made specifically for their tiny tummies. Plus, we have milk formula and bottles on board, available on request.



Yes, Emirates is widely regarded as one of the most family-friendly airlines in the world and provides a comprehensive range of baby food and amenities on all international flights. In 2026, the airline carries a stock of Ella’s Kitchen or similar organic, high-quality baby food jars in various flavors (savory and sweet) that can be requested from the cabin crew at any time. However, to ensure your preferred choice is available, it is highly recommended to pre-order a "Baby Meal" (BBML) at least 24 hours before your flight via the "Manage My Booking" section of the Emirates website. Beyond food, Emirates provides "baby kits" that include essentials like diapers, bibs, and wipes. For infants who are transitioning to solid foods, the airline also offers "Child Meals" (CHML) for older toddlers, which are served on colorful trays with kid-friendly, nutritious options. If you prefer to bring your own formula or breast milk, the cabin crew can assist with warming bottles using hot water baths. Additionally, most Emirates aircraft are equipped with changing tables in the lavatories and offer bassinets (which must be booked in advance) for infants weighing under 11kg, ensuring a comfortable journey for both the baby and the parents.

They typically stock a variety of Ella’s Kitchen or similar high-quality organic baby food jars (purees) for infants. However, to ensure availability, Emirates recommends that parents request a "Baby Meal" (BBML) at least 24 hours before their flight via the "Manage Your Booking" section of their website. In addition to pureed food, Emirates provides "infant kits" that often include essentials like bibs, spoons, and even diapers or wet wipes if you run out. For older toddlers, they offer specialized "Child Meals" (CHML) that are designed to be appealing to picky eaters. If you prefer to bring your own specialized formula or breast milk, the cabin crew is usually happy to assist with warming bottles or providing hot water. It is important to note that while they carry a good supply, the specific flavors and brands may vary, so parents with babies who have strict dietary preferences or allergies should still carry a small backup supply in their carry-on luggage.
