Child travelling alone

enfant

How do you get your child to travel alone by plane?

Children are taken care of by airline staff on boarding and handed over to the person responsible for welcoming them on arrival.

When you make your reservation, you will need to indicate that your child is travelling unaccompanied, and the airline will need to confirm that your child will be picked up. 

At the airport of departure, collect a UM pouch from the airline when you check in:

  • the ticket
  • your child's identity card or passport
  • parental authorisation
  • the identification form for the person responsible for looking after the child. This person must be at the airport at the time of the scheduled landing with an identity document.
 

If you are travelling outside France, download the "Authorisation to leave France" form and fill it in before coming to the airport.

Wait until the plane has left before leaving the airport.
