As the May Day holiday approaches, most airlines provide unaccompanied minors for some child passengers traveling alone, which is commonly known as "child check-in". Children between the ages of 5 and 12 can enjoy the unaccompanied service, how do I do that?
How do I travel as an unaccompanied minor?
First of all, in terms of application time, different airlines have different requirements. However, you need to complete the reservation on the airline's app, mini program or website within the specified time before the flight. Documents to be prepared: When the child flies, he or she must present a valid travel document, the Application Form for the Transportation of Unaccompanied Minors, as well as the ticket and the bill of charge. Put the documents and documents in a document bag and hang them on the child's chest for handover.
When applying for the unaccompanied minor service for a child traveling alone, you also need to provide an adult's ID card, and at the same time, you should accurately provide the name, address and contact number of the person who sent you to the airport and the person who received it, so that the staff can contact the person who sent you off and the person who received it.
A service fee will be charged for the unaccompanied minor service for your child. On international and regional routes, Air China, for example, charges RMB 260 or USD 50 equivalent for each one-way non-stop sector. On domestic flights, unaccompanied service is free of charge for children between the ages of 5 and 12.
At the departure and arrival airports, the airline will assist the child with check-in, customs, security and baggage claim, and will hand over the child to the purser. When a flight is delayed or cancelled, parents will be contacted as soon as possible and cooperate with parents to make follow-up service arrangements.
After the flight has landed, the carrier will arrange for a special person to meet your child and handle the handover procedures with the flight attendant to assist your child in the arrival procedures. The pick-up person must present a valid ID at the arrival station, and the ground service staff will hand over the child to the pick-up person after verification.
Note: Different airlines have slightly different handling of unaccompanied minor services, please contact each airline for details.
