Eligibility

Age Range: The unaccompanied minor service is available for children aged 5 to 15 years.

Children under 5 years old are not permitted to travel alone and must be accompanied by an adult.

In-flight Care: Cabin crew will provide special attention to unaccompanied minors during the flight, ensuring their comfort and addressing any needs they may have.

Documentation Required
