Virgin Atlantic Unaccompanied Minors Policy
Virgin Atlantic accept unaccompanied children on flights from the ages of 5 to 18. The unaccompanied minor service is charged as an adult fare.
Please note:
The parent/guardian of the unaccompanied minor must stay at the airport until
the child's flight has departed.
Children under 5 must always travel with someone aged 18 or over – Virgin
Atlantic can't fly them on their own.
Virgin Atlantic also regard children aged 5 to 18 as unaccompanied minors if
their parents or guardians are travelling on the same flight, but in a different
cabin. This is because Virgin Atlantic crew will be responsible for them in the
event of an emergency or the seatbelt signs are switched on, as you won't be
able to attend to them.
If you're travelling in Upper Class separately from your children they aren't
permitted to visit you, but you are of course free to come and check on them.
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.
