Airline Travela I have friends who live in Ireland. I really want them travel more, but they are 15, 13 and 11. Does anyone know what airlines, without letting an adulta
We had planned for them to come on British Airways and Aer Lingus, but a society which leaves the other and does not!
Please help me!
The previous answers may be right, but they do not address an important element. You do not say where you are, but it sounds like your friends will travel to another country.
Each country sets its own laws for entry and some have special restrictions for minors traveling alone or with one parent. In addition to checking with the airlines, your friends need to contact the embassy or nearest consulate for the country they visit. If there are specific requirements, and your friends do not comply with them, then the airline refuses to let them board the aircraft.
There may be more to this than just airline policy.
Try a U.S. airline as Northwest or United. I know that the Northwest is for domestic flights, but I'm not sure on international flights.
The two oldest could fly with both airlines. Younger must be accompanied by an adult (both Aer Lingus and BA) or be enrolled by his parents for the service Skyflyer Solo (BA) - whatever ^ ^
Aer Lingus
Unaccompanied Minors: Children under 12
Aer Lingus will not accept bookings for unaccompanied minors. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult aged 16 or over who will be responsible for the child.
Young passengers - between 12 and 15 years inclusive
Young passengers will be allowed on flights from Aer Lingus on the basis that they travel into adulthood.
British Airways
Children aged 6-12
Your child can travel at the age of six on all British Airways flights. Your child must be enrolled in Skyflyer Solo service unless they are accompanied by someone 16 years or more. The person accompanying the child can be a family member or a designated person.
Check with Northwest Airlines or disposable, I IS DELTA.COM.BEST RATES
