Today, the situation is not a strange thing for anyone when the child recovers abroad without his parents’ support. Of course, until recently, not a single mommy and in my thoughts could imagine it. And indeed, as a minor teenager will be able to transfer the flight alone? This is such a stress for himself and for his parents. But in our time there is nothing impossible!
Modern airlines offer their passengers a new type of service – aircraft Mama or “alone on an airplane”. Different carriers establish their not always the same rules, but the general in them is that during the baby’s flight, representatives of the airline this flight will be accompanied. For children, such a trip is the limit of dreams, because there are no parents nearby (when you can still feel like adults and independent).
Parents need to know that this service needs to be discussed even in the process of booking tickets. All additional information airlines are provided either in tickets for the sale of tickets, or posted on sites on the Internet. Here they indicate the age from which the baby will take on board the aircraft (it is clear that the infants do not discuss at all, since they need special care). Basically, the age when air transportation is allowed unattended, ranges from 5 to 12 years. Having reached the upper age limit, adolescents go to another category with other flight rules. Cases when accompanied can be refused – the child’s disability and possible transplants along the path of follow.
When applying for a ticket, representatives of the company will require information about a small passenger: surname, name, patronymic, address of residence, language in which the baby speaks, the date of departure and, without fail, the passport data of the meeting. The responsible airline that carries out the transportation of air children without parents is responsible for the child until he passes him into the hands of the trustee.
Parents need to think about how the young traveler will do during the flight, because in the sky you can spend an hour, and sometimes more time. So that the flight does not become stress, some companies that have access to transportation of air passengers include entertainment activities for children in the list of services. For example, one well -known airline created a Flying Camera channel on board, thanks to which a child can observe the entire flight through the eyes of a aircraft pilot.
