Is it legal in the UK to allow an 8 year old to air travel unaccompanied on any airline?

Question

Can an 8 year old travel unacompanied from the UK on an airoplane to Russia ...then met at the destination by an aldult?

Answer 1

i don't know about now, but it was a few years ago (5 years ago) ...my fellas son used to fly out on his own to various destinations in Europe.. he had a name tag on him and when he was young (under i think 12, he used to have one of the airline staff looking after him!)

..good luck x

Answer 2

It is not legal.

A person must be 16+ to travel abroad without an adult.

Answer 3

Not legal but the airlines will not let people under a curtain age to travel unacompanied, you should phone the airline and check with them

Answer 4

it is not illegal, but most airlines wont allow under 12's to travel by themselves, it is best to call the airlines first to ask their advice

have a nice day

Answer 5

It is Illegal for a 8 year old or anyone younger than 12 to travel alone but if you pay extra money you can have an air hostess look after him/her. The last time I checked it was about £62 but the prices might have changed.

Answer 6

Nope, I'm afraid it's not.

Answer 7

the airline wouldn't let you do it

you child can fly unacompanied if a member of the airline staff is supervising them or something but i've heard thats difficult to do

some airlines, depending on what they are would let a child fly alone at 14 or 16 depending on what they class an adult as
