Airline Travel?
I have some friends that live
in Ireland. I really want them
to travel over, but they are
15, 13 and 11. Does anyone
know what airline companies
will let them on without an
adult?
We were planning for them to
come on British Airways, and
Aer Lingus, but one company
lets them on and another
doesn't!
Please help me!

Try a US airline like Northwest or United. I know Northwest does for domestic flights, but I'm not sure about international flights. |

The older two could fly with both airlines. The youngest must be accompanied by an adult (both Aer Lingus and BA) or be registered by his parents for the Skyflyer Solo service (BA) - whatever that is ^^ Aer Lingus Unaccompanied Minors: children under 12 Aer Lingus will not accept bookings for unaccompanied minors. Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult aged 16 years or over who will take responsibility for the child. Young Passengers - between 12 and 15 yrs inclusive Young passengers will be accepted on Aer Lingus flights, on the basis that they are travelling as an adult. British Airways Children aged 6-12 years Your child can travel from the age of six on any British Airways flight. Your child must be registered for the Skyflyer Solo service unless they are accompanied by a person of 16 years of age or above. The person accompanying the child can be a family member or an appointed person. |

The previous answers may be correct, but they don't address one important item. You don't say where you are, but this sounds like your friends will be traveling to another country. Every country sets its own laws for entry and some have special restrictions for minors traveling alone or with only one parent. In addition to checking with airlines, your friends need to contact the embassy or nearest consulate for the country that they are visiting. If there are special requirements, and your friends don't comply with them, then the airline will refuse to let them board the aircraft. There may be more to this than just the airline's policy. |
