Unaccompanied Minor Information
All International transport providers have rules and regulations about children travelling alone or unaccompanied by an adult. Some will not allow children to travel alone under a certain age, Others will not allow your children to travel alone without using their Unaccompanied Minor service. Most will offer this service for older children if you require it.
Each carrier will also have restrictions on which route is available at and have their own charges, so please check their website very carefully for details and booking conditions.
If you use an Unaccompanied Minor service, please ensure you have paid for the service BOTH WAYS (if required) and have completed the Unaccompanied Minor Information Form for each leg of the journey. Your transport provider will supply you with these.
