We work hard so that more children may enjoy the experience of traveling on their own. This is why we offer the “Unaccompanied Minor Service.” This service consists of the minor/teenager being chaperoned by company staff throughout all the stages of the trip, from the check-in counter to the boarding gate, during the entire flight and at the destination airport.

Conditions

 

  • This service is mandatory for minors between 5 and 11 years old.
  • This service is optional for teenagers between 12 and 15 years old.
  • The Unaccompanied Minor Service is available only for nonstop flights or connecting flights lasting up to 5 hours and operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas.

Minors/teenagers may travel alone, provided they do not have any contraindication to air travel and are able to do the following:

  1. Understand the safety instructions provided by the flight crew.
  2. Secure their oxygen mask and fasten their seatbelt.
  3. Evacuate on their own in case of emergency.

Minors/teenagers that do not meet one or more of these requirements must travel accompanied by an adult.

  • Make sure that the person responsible for the minor is waiting for them at the destination airport with a valid form of identification. Our team will check that said person is the one that was detailed in the form at the airport of origin.
