Every trip starts with who you're flying with. So do we.
Most travel sites ask "where are you going?" FlyingWith starts with "who are you flying with?" — a baby, a pet, a wheelchair, or just yourself — and organizes practical guidance around that situation, with clearly labelled booking links for when you're ready.
Practical guidance · Free to use · Affiliate links disclosed
Three steps, starting with your situation.
Start with your situation instead of a destination filter.
Tell us who you're flying with
Pick your scenario — a baby, a pet, mobility needs, solo, kids, or something else entirely.
Read guidance for that situation
Practical tips on seats, packing and what to ask your airline, organized for your situation. Rules vary, so confirm them with your airline.
Book when you're ready

Build your trip profile
Answer a few questions for a checklist built from this site's scenario tips. It runs in your browser, with no account.
Built around who you're flying with.
Most travel sites start with the destination. We start with your situation — because the flight that works for a family with a stroller isn't the flight that works for a solo backpacker.
Organized by situation, not city
Scenario pages and guides start from the traveller's situation — a baby, a pet, a mobility aid — and treat the destination as a second question.
Practical, not promotional
Guides focus on what to request, pack, and ask — and point out when a rule depends on the airline or country, so you can confirm it at the source.

Some links are affiliate links, and we label them. FlyingWith doesn't add fees — prices and availability are set by the booking site.
