Passenger Information

Unaccompanied minors

Unaccompanied minors will not be accepted for travel with Freedom Flights; therefore it is not possible for children under 16 to travel unaccompanied. An adult, aged 18 or over, must accompany children under 16 years.

Minors accompanied by someone other than their Parent(s) or Legal Guardian

XL Airways does not accept anyone under the age of 16 for travel unless they are accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.

If you are travelling with a minor and are not the legal guardian or parent you and/or the minor may be stopped and/or detained by Immigration.

XL Airways will not accept any liability for any action taken by Immigration and will not provide a refund for any unused flight seats or cover the costs of any additional expenses incurred under these circumstances.

We recommend that parents/guardians provide a signed letter of consent fully naming the person authorised to travel with their child, detailing the reason for travel and providing a contact number and address for the parent/guardian. A copy of the photograph page of the parent/guardians passport should also be carried and should clearly depict all details on the page including full name and passport number.

Please note: This is a recommendation only and does not guarantee entry or exit to or from any destination or arrival airport.
