In addition to the Fly with Me Animals, Emirates has partnered with Lonely Planet to create activity bags - two specially designed Kid’s Retro-Style Rucksacks, and two Kid’s Cool Bags - containing travel content tailored for children up to 12 years. More fun for flying kids on Emirates comes with special meals for children from two years to 12 years – and that’s just the start of the fantastic kids’ initiatives the airline has introduced to make flying a real treat for young ones!
