Families with children

On board the aircraft, infants do not generally have their own seat but travel on an adult’s lap.

They are entitled to have their own seat at a reduced fare, with the same baggage allowance as an adult.

Unaccompanied minors (between 4 and 14 years old, or 12 for some companies) can only travel with special assistance.

This is what you need to know:
- When making a reservation, specify that the minor will be unaccompanied.
- Airport staff will provide assistance until boarding, at which stage the airline will be responsible for the minor
- The parent or guardian must remain at the airport until take-off
- Minors will receive similar assistance upon arrival and will be accompanied until they are reunited with the person named in the reservation.

Important: ask the airline about the age limit for receiving this service.

If you are pregnant, please notify the airline at the time of booking: you may have to show medical documentation.
