Internal British Flights

We are flying to London from Glasgow in a couple of weeks. About to book the flights over the internet. Does anybody know if airlines supply skycots for internal flights?
Our dd2 will be 19 weeks old at time of travel. With dd1 she always sat on our knee with a belt around her attached to us but she was never this young when we flew to London.
Does anybody know if the airline will supply a skycot for internal flights or does it just all depend on the airline?

I fly London-Edinburgh fairly often and I've never seen a skycot I'm afraid. I'm not even sure there's space for one on most of the planes they use on that route. I'm sure the airline would tell you if you rang them.

Most of the planes are pretty small and I'm not sure there'd be room for a skycot. The babies I've seen have always been on someone's lap. It's not a long trip, even London to A/deen is only 1.25hrs.

Have flown regularly within the uk with our lot! No skycots AFAIK. Ds was on my lap at 16 wks. The time passes really quickly though and there's usually enough room to be comfortable for that length of time.

Thanks everyone.

I didn't think they did skycots with internal flights. Dd1 was 1 the frist time we flew so I just wondered if they did things differently for smaller babies.
I didn't even know about skycots until my cousin mentioned that her dd had been in one when they flew to Greece when her dd was 12 weeks old. Ok, so that was a longer flight but I did wonder if it was the norm for children under 6 months to use them.
