For this summer vacation, our daughter went to visit relatives living on the other side of our huge country. One. How it happened is further in the article.

IN Russian company Aeroflot has such a service - accompanying a child who is flying without parents. On this moment In Russia, only Aeroflot has such a service.
I'll tell you how we used this service.

You can send an accompanied child between the ages of 5 and 16 years.
When purchasing a ticket for a child, we immediately arranged for an escort service at the Aeroflot ticket office. It costs 40 euros per flight. Since our daughter was flying from Krasnodar to Vladivostok with a transfer in Moscow, we paid 80 euros - 40 for each flight.

By the way, a ticket for a child must be taken at the full fare if you use Aeroflot’s “unaccompanied child” service.

There, at the ticket office, they immediately filled in a special booklet, which is issued along with the ticket, with information about the daughter and the person who will meet her at the airport of arrival. That is, you need to know in advance exactly who will meet the child and make sure that you have his passport details. That's all.

Aeroflot's “Accompanied Child” service in action

At the airport, take the documents issued when purchasing a ticket for an unaccompanied child and the child’s birth certificate or passport. At the airport we were immediately sent to the VIP lounge. There, the daughter checked in for the flight, her luggage was accepted and she was left to await departure. Parents can also be present with their child in the hall before his departure. Very convenient, I tell you.

After all the passengers boarded the plane, a special car arrived and the flight attendant took the daughter onto the plane. She flew in regular economy class. She was instructed that if she had any questions or problems, she should call a flight attendant, and periodically they constantly checked to see if everything was in order. They also gave me a gift from Aeroflot, despite the fact that this was not the first time my daughter had flown with this company.

In Moscow at Sheremetyevo airport, unaccompanied children are also escorted separately and left in a special hall for unaccompanied children. There is a TV, a toilet, comfortable chairs and other things that allow you to comfortably wait for the next flight if the flight has a transfer.

If the transfer is quite long, you can order hot meals separately. The child will be fed there at the airport. This service costs 20 euros. My daughter had a short connection - only two hours, we did not order food.

Children do not intersect with the general flow of passengers anywhere. This way, the risk of getting lost, scared or confused is reduced to a minimum.

At the arrival airport, an Aeroflot employee hands the child over to the greeters against signature.

Everything is clear, simple and clear. No matter how dissatisfied many people are with Aeroflot, this service is simply irreplaceable.
Our country is large, and often the problem is very serious - getting children to a vacation spot or to the city where relatives live.

Conclusion:

For those who for some reason cannot fly with a child, Aeroflot’s child accompanying service is a great help. The entire flight went without a hitch.

But before you sign up for such a service, you need to clearly assess your strengths, and especially the strengths, age and character of the child. Our daughter is a ten-year-old frequent flyer. She is no stranger to airplanes and airports, and she is not afraid to fly. For a less independent and fearful child, flying without family can be very stressful.

For a while summer holidays Most parents of schoolchildren prefer to send their children to nature or a resort. However, in most cases, the desired destination is thousands of kilometers away, and adults are tormented by the issue of moving a child. Let's consider whether it is possible to accompany children on the plane and how much such a flight will cost.

First, let's determine that the cost of a ticket depends on the age of the child.

Two-year-old children are allowed on international flights subject to payment of 70% of the full ticket price. Domestic flights are paid at half the fare. It is from this age that some airlines allow children to travel alone. However, most Russian carriers do not support such a policy and insist on the mandatory presence of guardians or parents until the age of five.

When the child turns five (in some companies - two) years old, parents have the right to send him on an independent voyage and order an escort service from the carrier. This service involves the supervision of an airline employee for the baby until the child disembarks from the aircraft.

The question at what age can a child fly unaccompanied on an airplane is difficult to answer unequivocally. Some companies restrict children under 12 years of age from flying independently. However, other carriers insist on fifteen years of age. Although twelve-year-old teenagers are already deprived of all benefits. For a seat on the plane here, parents will have to pay the full amount.

Medical nuances

Today, leading specialists from the best clinics in Russia are confident that flights are not contraindicated for infants from three months of age. The only exceptions here will be congenital diseases that threaten the health of children. In addition, doctors advise refraining from flying if a toddler under two years old has contracted an acute viral infection or the flu. That is, from a medical point of view, flights are possible for children of any age, provided the baby is healthy.

List of papers for baby's independent flight

Let's consider the nuances of such an enterprise as sending a child alone on a plane across Russia. When intending to carry out this event, parents should prepare the necessary documentation for the flight. The list of papers is as follows:

Identity confirmation documents. Here, airlines accept the baby's passport or birth certificate for consideration.
Compulsory medical insurance policy. Mandatory document for domestic and international flights
Air ticket. You can purchase an air ticket in any way convenient for you, but check-in for the flight will require the mandatory presence of the sending party and the baby at the counter.
Parental consent for flights. In this situation, the father and mother sign permission to independent travel teenager and notarize the paper.
Document on health status (for medical reasons). Transporting medicine to hand luggage on the liner is allowed only after presentation of documents that a particular drug is necessary to maintain normal human life. This requirement also applies to children.

In addition, during registration, parents fill out a special form, indicating accurate and complete information about themselves and the little one. The initials of the person who will meet the offspring upon arrival are also specified there. Please note that relatives who have agreed to meet your baby take identification documents with them - after all, the flight attendant will hand the little one over only to the person indicated in the accompanying papers.

If you are planning to fly to another country, it is appropriate to ensure that your children obtain a foreign passport and, if necessary, a visa. Of course, these papers complement the list listed above. Since we have decided on the question of whether it is possible to send a child on an airplane alone, we will consider the specific details of such an event using the example of a well-known airline.

Offer from Aeroflot Group

Since this company is today considered the oldest and largest in the Russian Federation, let us clarify on what conditions it will be possible to cooperate with “ Aeroflot" Accompanying a child, the cost of such an airline service and the rules that apply to passengers will be the main criteria for our review. When choosing flights with this airline, parents have the right to send their child on an independent voyage from the age of five. However, a student needs mandatory adult supervision until the age of 12. And you will be able to voluntarily use such a service until your child’s sixteenth birthday.

Thus, parents have the right to either send their child under the supervision of a relative or friend, or order the service “accompanying the child on the plane.” " Aeroflot» offers a full range of services: from boarding the baby to leaving the aircraft cabin. In addition, during scheduled flight connections, the flight attendant sees off the children and supervises the transfer to the next plane.

However, if there is a flight on an international flight, parents are obliged to study the nuances of the legislation of the country where the child is being sent, or the state where the connection is taking place. Besides, early booking The childcare company's service guarantees that you will not receive an unexpected refusal. Keep in mind that the number of such children on the plane is limited.

If you take into account the cost, do not forget that for a teenager who flies on his own, the parents pay for the air ticket in full. To accompany a schoolchild on domestic flights, airlines ask to pay 3,400 rubles. An international flight with this service will cost 40 euros. Conversion into domestic currency here occurs at the current rate at the time of registration of the service.

Company rules

Today, only the child’s parents or current guardians will be able to order an escort service. To formalize such agreements, you will have to present documents to the company employee that confirm the official status of the applicant and prove the relationship. In addition, check-in here is only possible at the airport counter. Of course, timely presence at the airport becomes a guarantee successful landing crumbs on board the liner.

The presence of luggage and hand luggage is also strictly regulated. Do not forget that this standard regulates the basic fare of an air ticket. Typically, in such situations, airlines do not offer discounts for toddlers and only allow allowed baggage in a specified size on board.

During registration, the child's accompanying person presents the package travel documents, your passport, papers indicating that the service has been paid for and special forms that are mandatory for the provision of a service of this kind. An example of filling out an application is available at the link, and a sample of writing an application can be found. The person accompanying you remains on the territory of the take-off and landing complex until the aircraft takes off.

As for the person listed on the paperwork as the receiving party, he will be required to be present at the airport on time and have a photo ID. All accompanying papers are placed in a folder and secured to the baby’s chest. This measure becomes a necessity and a basic rule for airlines.

Additional service

Accompanying a child is not limited to the standard range of services. If desired, for an additional payment, parents can clarify the list of services offered by the airline. There is a special menu available for children of different religions, as well as dietary dishes recommended for medical reasons.

When the baby is due for a transplant, parents have the right to pay for the services additional services: food and drinks while the child is waiting for the next plane

Considering that connecting flights do not provide free meals when waiting for the plane for up to three hours, parents have the right to pay for drinks for their child. For domestic flights the fee is 400 rubles, and for flights abroad the service will cost five euros. Food for baby during long connections costs 1,700 rubles when flying within Russia, and 20 euros when a student flies to another state.

There is no need to worry about the quality of the products - because the food for children here is fresh and meets all sanitary standards. Moreover, the food is served at the stipulated time. To place an order for additional service, parents should contact the company no later than 36 hours from the scheduled departure time. Don't forget, this service is limited and requires early booking.

Try to strictly follow airline requirements. Remember, absence required document or payment not made in full will cause the company to refuse to take the baby on board. Therefore, take the bureaucratic stage of such a procedure seriously. Pay special attention to this point if you intend to purchase a non-refundable air ticket.

On the plane, specially trained staff will ensure that your child’s flight is successful.

Of course, modern opportunities make it possible to send both a preschooler and a teenager on an independent trip. However, it is important for parents to remember that responsibility for the life and health of their baby rests solely with them. Airlines provide an escort service, but the official guardian is responsible for the toddler.

Traveling long distances is much more convenient and faster by plane. Is it possible for a child to fly without parents if they are unable to accompany him?

The answer to this question depends on the age of the children. Each airline sets individual requirements for the transportation of minors with or without an escort.

Can children fly on an airplane?

Until recently, flying with newborn babies and children under one year of age was considered undesirable. The planes were not equipped for comfortable travel with a young child.

However, this problem has now been resolved, although airlines still have some age restrictions.

Most carriers do not prohibit flying with newborn children. Passengers can travel to another city or country as early as the seventh day after birth if they have no medical contraindications.

However, medical experts recommend using air travel after little passengers reach three months of age. In this case, the child can more easily withstand the stresses that await him during the trip (pressure changes, reduced oxygen levels, etc.).

Is it possible to send a child alone on a plane?

If parents are unable to accompany their child on an air flight, he can fly alone or accompanied by an adult. Each carrier company sets individual requirements.

By general rule It will not be possible to send a child under five years of age alone unaccompanied. He can fly only with an adult accompanying person, that is, a person over 18 years of age.

If the child is between 5 and 12 years old, parents or guardians have the right to use the airline's escort service. In this case, an escort service worker or flight attendant will monitor the minor passenger. This service is paid, its cost is set by the carrier company.

Most often, children over 12–14 years of age are allowed to travel unaccompanied. In this case, a ticket for a minor passenger is purchased at the price provided for an adult. The rules of carrier companies do not prohibit ordering an escort service.

Some airlines have stricter age requirements for children flying unaccompanied. Thus, Aeroflot allows a person over 12 years of age to travel independently, and Delta only allows those aged 15 years or older to travel independently.

Rules for flying minors in Russia

In addition to those listed above age restrictions, some companies do not allow children to fly unaccompanied by their parents if there are transfers. For example, Delta allows transportation of a child from 5 to 7 children only by direct flight.

How can you send a child alone on a plane if there are connections? If the age of a minor passenger is from 8 to 14 years (in some cases up to 12 years), transfers are permitted when ordering an escort service, that is, under the supervision of flight attendants.

In most cases, children over 12–14 years of age can travel independently on both direct and connecting flights.

To send a child with or without an accompaniment, parents must follow several important rules:

book tickets in advance;
prepare certain documents for a minor passenger;
take essentials with you (comfortable and warm clothes, wet wipes, baby food, medicines, toys, etc.);
notify the carrier in advance about the flight of an unaccompanied child.

Pregnant women and minor passengers cannot purchase tickets with seats from emergency exit. Only the legal representatives of the child (his parents, trustees, adoptive parents or guardians) can obtain an escort service.

Documents required for the flight

A child's flight with or without an escort is impossible without two documents:

identity cards of a minor passenger;
written parent to leave, certified by a notary office.

The latter document will also be needed for international transportation if the child is flying on an airplane without guardians, parents or trustees. If a minor citizen is traveling to another city or country with his mother or father, notarized consent for the trip from the second parent will also have to be issued.

Depending on the situation, other papers may be required, for example, a visa, a document containing personal information about the accompanying person, the citizen meeting the minor passenger and the child himself.

How to send a child alone on a plane?

Legal representatives must fill out a special form for the carriage of an unaccompanied passenger; the form depends on the airline.

To complete these forms, you must have the following documents on hand:

representative's passport;
child's identity card;
a document confirming the relationship between a minor and an adult (for example, a birth or adoption certificate).

The application and application are filled out at the offices of agencies involved in the sale of air tickets, or directly at the branch of a specific airline.

The application must include the personal information of the person meeting the child, as well as his photograph. The citizen must be at the airport at the place of arrival in time for arrival desired flight and have a passport or other identification document with you.

When sending a child to another city or country with or without an escort, you must take care in advance of the list of things that should be with him on board. We are talking about warm and comfortable clothes (on the plane it can be either hot or cold, depending on the season and the country of destination).

Many carrier companies offer a children's menu to choose from. It is recommended to order your child’s meals in advance, especially if he or she has medical contraindications or religious beliefs.

In addition, during a long flight, it is better to take with you additional fruits, cookies or other food products that are not prohibited from being taken on board.

Most airlines accept newborn passengers 7–10 days after birth. However, in some cases, parents may need a medical certificate confirming that the baby can be allowed to fly.
