Air New Zealand Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Air New Zealand has specific policies and services in place for unaccompanied minors (UMs) traveling on their flights. Here are the key points of their unaccompanied minor policy:

Age Requirements: Children aged 5 to 11 traveling without an accompanying adult are considered unaccompanied minors and must use the unaccompanied minor service.

Booking: The unaccompanied minor service must be requested at the time of booking. You will need to provide the child's age, contact details for the person dropping off and picking up the child, and any special requirements.

Fees: There is a fee for the unaccompanied minor service, which varies depending on the route and whether the child is traveling internationally or domestically.

Flight Restrictions: Unaccompanied minors may not be booked on flights that require a transfer or overnight stay.

Check-in and Boarding: The child must be checked in by the adult responsible for them, and they will be escorted through security and to the boarding gate. The adult must remain at the airport until the child's flight has departed.

Onboard: Air New Zealand cabin crew will supervise the child during the flight and ensure their comfort and safety.

Arrival: The child will be escorted off the aircraft and handed over to the designated adult at the destination airport.
