Rules for children traveling unsupervised
Children flying alone are called 'unaccompanied minors' and often require a separate ticket, according to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
Parents or guardians must also fill out additional paperwork with any information the airline needs to know about the child.
However, it is important to note that each airline sets its own rules and regulations, including ages, prices and permitted routes.
Most airlines allow children between the ages of five and twelve to fly alone on the airline's Unaccompanied Minor Service.
Some airlines allow a parent to get a pass so they can escort their child through security, while others escort your child themselves.
Upon arrival, your child will be escorted to a parent or guardian waiting to pick them up (ID required).
Children aged 12 and over can travel alone without the Unaccompanied Minor Service, but it remains available at an additional cost.
