Air Transat Unaccompanied Minors Policy

If your child is travelling without a parent/guardian (or with a parent/guardian but in a different compartment/cabin on board) please read this section to ensure that they meet the requirements for travelling alone and are fully prepared for their trip.

Minimum 7 days to under 8 years of age

Must be accompanied, in the same cabin, by another passenger who is 16 years of age or older.

8 - 11 Years Inclusively

May travel alone, or with an adult travelling in a different cabin, upon the purchase of our Unaccompanied Minor VIP Service. This service is not available on connecting or codeshare flights.

12 - 17 Years Inclusively

May travel alone or with an adult travelling in a different class. We will be pleased to offer assistance to youth passengers travelling alone, however they must be able to travel independently and without Air Transat guardianship.

For peace of mind, you may choose to register your youth traveller in our Unaccompanied Minor VIP Service. This service is not available on connecting or codeshare flights.

All paperwork, identification requirements, services, fees and handling will apply.
