Budget carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air don’t offer an unaccompanied minor service, and a child flying alone<\/strong> without an adult can only travel with them from the age of sixteen. If you want to send your kid off on holiday by plane on their own, you’ll need to pick a full-service airline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With some carriers children can fly alone from the age of six, but you’ll pay the full adult fare<\/strong> for them. Lufthansa accepts little travellers from as young as five, and its assistance service costs around \u20ac85 for one leg<\/strong> of the journey. Either way, it’s always best to choose a connection with no transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll get an overview of all the documents you need and find out how the handover of a child at the airport<\/strong> works. I’ll also walk you through the rules for little ones with allergies, so the whole trip goes without any unnecessary stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
