A child's meal is an airline meal prepared especially for children. The meal may come in a smaller portion size or use foods with a plain flavour.
The code for a child's meal is CHML. If ordering a child meal, always make sure you contact Alternative Airlines or the airline you are flying with at least 24 hours before your flight departure. For more advice on taking children with you on your flight, please visit our guide to flying with children and infants.
To order a child meal contact Alternative Airlines or the airline you are flying with at least 24 hours before flight departure and request a Child Meal (CHML). Although airlines endeavour to make sure that pre-ordered meals are delivered to passengers, it is always recommended to bring some extra food on the plane in the case of a mistake with your order.
