Emirates Unaccompanied Minor Policy

The Emirates unaccompanied minors service is for children aged 5 to 11 who are traveling alone. From the time of check-in until they meet their parent or guardian at the airport, the airline will ensure that their trip is enjoyable and unforgettable. Children over 12 are not required to use our Unaccompanied Minor service when traveling. However, this service is particularly available to single children aged between 12 and 15. Here, you will learn more about Emirates' Unaccompanied Minor Policy so that you can book your youngster’s ticket accordingly.

• Children between 5 and 11 years old require an adult ticket and will be handled by our Unaccompanied Minor service.
• Children older than 12 do not qualify for Emirates' Unaccompanied Minor service; they always travel on adult prices.
• A dedicated member of the Emirates crew will meet your child at the unaccompanied minors check-in desk.
• When dropping off your young passenger at Dubai International, you can take them directly to the Unaccompanied Minors Lounge, located near the check-in area.
• If your child has a connecting flight in Dubai, they will be taken to one of the unaccompanied minors lounges to wait before being handed over to the airline's cabin crew.
• For safety and security reasons, a Declaration of Indemnity form must be completed and signed by a legal parent or guardian before your child can fly with Emirates. 

How to book a Ticket for an Unaccompanied Minor?

To make a reservation for your children on Emirates, you must complete the form and speak with a customer service agent over the phone or in person at the airport. You must complete a form that the customer support representative gives you and submit it with the required information. Make sure you have your minor's necessary paperwork with you, such as a current passport or child ID and a Declaration of Indemnity form filled out by the parent or guardian.

Emirates Unaccompanied Minor Fee

If children between the ages of 5 and 11 decide to fly alone, they will be considered unaccompanied minors and will need to purchase an adult ticket.

Children over the age of 12 are permitted to travel alone without the Unaccompanied Minor service and must always board an adult ticket. For children aged 12 to 15, you can reserve the service for an additional $50 per journey portion.

Children between the ages of 5 and 11 may board the same flight in a different cabin class than their parent or legal guardian. But they also have to take an adult flight. The youngster will not be eligible for special services or the children's lounge because they are accompanied.

Conclusion

Emirates has a great Unaccompanied Minor service for kids aged 5 to 11 that ensures their comfort and safety while traveling. Minors aged 12 and over can travel independently on adult tickets, although minors aged 12 to 15 can opt to use the service for an additional fee. Also, this airline offers in-flight entertainment such as movies, video games, and more. Book your youngsters’ ticket without any worries because the crew member of the airline will ensure their safety.
