Travel With Confidence on 100+ Airlines

At Kooshy Kids, your comfort, confidence and peace of mind matter. That’s why we’re proud to share that our award-winning Kooshy Kids Kooshion and Inflatable Sky Bunk (all versions) are now accepted on over 100 airlines worldwide—and counting!

We’re so confident in this, we offer our Approved Airline Money Back Guarantee: if a listed airline doesn’t allow use of your Kooshy Kids Kooshion or Inflatable Sky Bunk, we’ll credit you. It’s our way of backing what we believe in.


Our Promise to You ✨

Our inflatables are used on flights across the globe, with thousands of happy families flying comfortably every year. While most airlines have accepted our products, final approval always rests with the cabin crew. Because of this, we recommend checking with your airline prior to travel.

We’ve made it easy: our Product Specification Sheets are available to download and share with your airline to help support their safety assessment:


But What If You're Told No?

If you're flying with one of our listed airlines and your Kooshion or Sky Bunk is unexpectedly refused, we've got you covered. Simply submit a short form under our Approved Airline Guarantee and we'll credit you for the inflatable — no need to return it, it's completely free!


An Airline-Friendly Alternative: The Kooshy Kloud ☁️

For extra peace of mind, the Kooshy Kloud offers a stress-free, in-seat comfort solution with no known airline restrictions. It doesn’t go on the floor, doesn’t attach to the seat, and won’t block access to aisles or emergency equipment. Plus, with its built-in air safety release valve, the Kloud is designed to self-regulate during any changes in cabin pressure — making it a perfect choice for any airline, any seat, and any age.

Many families choose to travel with both an inflatable bed and the Kooshy Kloud — not only for added comfort, but to have a reliable backup in case they’re ever asked to deflate their inflatable mid-flight.

Whether you’re travelling with a newborn, toddler, teen, or even flying solo, the Kooshy Kloud is a game-changing alternative that keeps comfort high and stress low.


Your Peace of Mind Matters ✨

We understand the emotional and financial investment that goes into family travel. That’s why we don’t just prioritise comfort—we prioritise your trust.

If you're ever unsure, reach out to your airline in advance. Let them know you plan to use your Kooshy Kids product only when the seatbelt sign is off, your child will remain belted in at all times, and that you’re happy to follow any crew instructions.

You can also refer to our Instagram Highlights for real-world photos of our products in use across dozens of airlines (including airlines that have not yet approved sleep devices).


Summary of Airline Use

  • Approved Use: View the full list of over 100 accepted airlines HERE.
  • Crew Discretion: Some airlines haven’t formally listed approval for inflatables like the Kooshy Kids Kooshion or Sky Bunk, which means usage is typically left up to the cabin crew on the day. While many families have still been allowed to use them on these airlines, we always recommend checking with your airline directly before you fly.

    If you're flying with one of these airlines, the Kooshy Kloud™ is a great alternative – it's an in-seat device with no known restrictions.


Safety First, Always ✈️

For best practice when using inflatables onboard:

  • Only inflate once the seatbelt sign is off

  • Never use in an exit row

  • Ensure no aisle or emergency access is blocked

  • Keep children seatbelted at all times (extenders available)

  • Adult supervision is essential
