Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about unaccompanied minor service:
What is an unaccompanied minor?
An unaccompanied minor is a child who is aged 5-17 and is traveling without a parent or legal guardian.
What is included in the unaccompanied minor service?
The unaccompanied minor service typically includes dedicated airline staff who will escort and supervise the child throughout their journey, from check-in to arrival. At the airport, the child is assisted with the check-in process, which involves providing the airline with relevant booking information and any necessary documentation, such as proof of identity.
During the flight, the child is seated in a designated area, usually near the flight attendants’ station, where they can receive additional attention and care. The airline staff will also ensure that the child is provided with meals and any necessary assistance, such as help with using the restroom.
Upon arrival, the child is escorted to the designated pick-up area, where they are released to the designated person who is authorized to receive them. It’s worth noting that different airlines may have varying policies and procedures for their unaccompanied minor service, so it’s important to check with the airline in advance for specific details.
Can my child travel alone if they are under 5 years old?
No. Children under 5 years old are not allowed to travel unaccompanied because they are not able to understand and follow the instructions of airline staff. They are also at risk of being lost or injured.
