For flight bookings, tickets and to activate the service, please contact Assistance Team or a travel agency, and provide them with the details and phone number of the person who will accompany the minor to the departure airport and collect them from the airport of arrival. In case of connecting flights, it will not be possible to book the last flight of the day for minors, unless only one flight per day is scheduled from said airport. For safety reasons, the person accompanying the minor must remain in the airport until the flight on which the minor is travelling has been boarded.

Required documents

On arrival at check-in, you will need to present:

• a photocopy of the ID document of the person accompanying the minor to the airport
• the minor’s valid travel document
• The Unaccompanied Minor "AFFIDAVIT" form, duly filled out and, in case of international flights, for the minor of 14 years of age:
  • For Italian minors under 14 years of age, or in case of immigration from the place of residence, a Declaration of Accompaniment is required. This must be signed by the parents or whoever takes their place, endorsed by the Police Headquarters (or by the Consulate or the Italian Embassy if overseas), and must include the name of the airline company with which the child will be traveling. The form is only available in Italian language;
  • Minors with a document issued in a different nation (not Italian), should consult the Embassy or Consulate website in the country of destination.

Are there any additional fees?

There is a variable surcharge for the 'Unaccompanied Minor' service, which varies depending on the destination of the flight. Consult the table and tariffs here.

This service provides a travel assistant for minors between:

• 14 - 17 years of age for national flights;
• 15 - 17 years of age for all other flights.

Call Assistance Team to book the "Voluntary unaccompanied minor” service. The fees for airport and onboard assistance, are the same as the obligatory unaccompanied minors service.

The service can be purchased on flights operated by the ITA Airways group and payment of the additional fee must be made at the time of booking confirmation for the entire journey.

For connecting flights, in the event ITA Airways has to accompany the minor on a different connecting flight than the one purchased, the service will also be guaranteed on the new flight.
