Japan Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Japan Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Japan Airlines has a policy for unaccompanied minors (UMs) that provides special assistance and care to children traveling alone. The policy applies to children between the ages of 5 and 11 traveling without an adult who is at least 12 years old.

Here are some key points of the policy:

1. UM service is mandatory for children ages 5-11 traveling alone.

2. The UM service fee varies depending on the flight and route, and is payable at the time of booking.

3. UM service is available on all Japan Airlines flights, including codeshare flights operated by partner airlines.

4. UM will be escorted through the airport by airline staff, and will be supervised during the flight by flight attendants.

5. UM will be seated in a designated area of the aircraft, usually near the flight attendants' station.

6. Parents or guardians must provide the airline with contact information for themselves and the person who will be meeting the child at the destination airport.

7. The person meeting the UM at the destination airport must have a valid government-issued ID and must be authorized by the parents or guardians.

8. Parents or guardians must remain at the airport until the flight has departed.


It's important to note that Japan Airlines's unaccompanied minor service may have different requirements or restrictions depending on the specific route or destination.
