Minors

The identification requirements of minors may be different from those of an adult passenger. For this reason, we recommend that you have all the documentation and/or authorisations necessary to fly.

The minimum age for a child to travel alone is 5 years old. In many cases, an Unaccompanied Minor Service must be requested for a child travelling alone.

Domestic flights (Spain)

Spanish nationality:

  • Passengers between 14 and 17 years old: Valid National ID or Passport (can be expired).
  • Passengers under 14 years old: the child's national ID (DNI) is typically not required. However, the family record book may be requested. The person responsible for the child at the departure airport should be able to verify the child's identity. No authorisation is required to fly. If the child is eligible for a resident discount, the family record book must be submitted together with a certificate of residence containing the child's date of birth.
