Booking

The UM service is subject to availability and certain restrictions may apply based on the route and destination.

Fees

Qatar Airways charges a fee for the UM service, which varies depending on the route and destination.

Travel Documents

Children traveling alone must have all necessary travel documents, including a passport, visa (if required), and any other documents required by the destination country.

Parents or guardians must ensure that the child has all necessary documents before the flight.

Check-in

Children traveling alone must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the airport and checked in at a Qatar Airways counter.

The parent or guardian must provide contact information, including their own phone number and the phone number of the person who will be meeting the child at the destination.

Boarding

Parents or guardians are allowed to accompany the child to the boarding gate but are not allowed to board the aircraft with them.

In-flight

Qatar Airways staff will assist the child during the flight, including providing meals and snacks and helping them with any needs they may have. The crew will also ensure that the child is escorted off the aircraft and handed over to the designated person at the destination.

Overall, Qatar Airways' UM service offers parents and guardians peace of mind when their child is traveling alone. It is always best to check with Qatar Airways customer service team for specific details on the UM service and any requirements or restrictions that may apply.
