AirlinesHQ.com  »  Airlines in Japan  »  Japan Airlines  »  Children Flying Alone Policy

Unaccompanied minor service is mandatory for a child age 5-11 traveling without an adult on Japan Airlines (JAL) flights. Children ages 12-17 years are not required to travel as unaccompanied minors, but the service is optional for this age group as well.

Unaccompanied Minors Information

Children under 5 years of age are not allowed to travel unless accompanied by an adult.

Reservations for unaccompanied children must be made through the JAL reservation center (International Reservation and Information). The unaccompanied minor service fee is $150 (plus tax) each way.

When making a reservation, please be prepared to provide contact information for a parent or guardian at the points of departure and arrival, as well as any connecting points. Travelers must sign and submit a mandatory consent form.

JAL won't accept unaccompanied minors when their itineraries include:

• A connection to/from another airline, including codeshare and oneworld partners

• Ground/co-terminal connections (unaccompanied minors under 15 years, can't use ground transportation alone)

• The last flight of the day from the final connection city, unless it's the only scheduled flight offered

• Overnight connecting flights, unless it's the only scheduled flight offered

If you are allowing your child to fly alone as an unaccompanied minor, be sure to take every necessary precaution to ensure his or her safety.
