Children aged 12 or older may fly alone. Children under 12 may only fly accompanied by a responsible adult. Children between the age of five and eleven may also travel accompanied by a sibling aged sixteen years or older. The child`s companion must be able to assist the child at all times in the case of any unusual event. If the responsible adult does not have parental authority, we must be provided with the following written permission from an adult with parental authority.  

Please note that special entry and exit conditions apply in some countries.

Unaccompanied minor service

Eurowings offers an unaccompanied minor service (UM service) for children aged from five up to and including 11. This is available on any direct flights between the following locations:

• Germany (incl. domestic)

• Austria

• Switzerland

• Palma de Mallorca (PMI)

• Prague (PRG)

• Stockholm (ARN)

For this purpose, please complete the unaccompanied minor form.

For teenagers between 12 and 17 years travelling alone, the availability of the unaccompanied minor service is optional on request. Our friendly staff will not only ensure the well-being of your child during the flight, but will also make sure that your child arrives safely in the destination airport.

Booking

The UM service and the corresponding flight can be booked via the call centre or at a Eurowings airport counter, but unfortunately not online or via mobile phone.

Charges

A charge will be applied per journey leg and per child. This must be paid with the booking payment.

Note:

All regulations apply to Eurowings flights with an EW flight number, regardless of the operating airline. For our partner airlines` flights, which do not have an EW flight number, the conditions of the respective airline apply. These can be viewed on the airlines` own websites. These partner airlines currently include Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Condor, United Airlines, Air Canada and All Nippon Airways.

In addition to the booking number or etix® ticket number, all travellers including infants, children and adolescents require ID.

As of 26 June 2012, every child with German nationality, regardless of age, requires their own travel document to travel abroad. Joint passports for parents and children are no longer recognised. The new regulation also applies for travel within the EU and the Schengen area.

Children under 12

As described here, children under 12 are normally required to travel with a responsible adult. If a child travels with an adult who does not have parental authority, written permission from the parent or an adult with parental authority is required. If such permission is not presented, the child will not be allowed to fly with us.

The required declaration form can be downloaded here.

Special regulations also apply for booking flights for children under 12.

Further information on this topic can be found here.

Foreign nationals

For foreign nationals living in Germany, the regulations of their homeland and the entry regulations of the destination country apply.

Special entry and exit regulations

Special entry and exit regulations apply in certain countries, such as France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Romania and Israel, for children travelling alone. Each passenger is responsible for ensuring they comply with these regulations. We therefore recommend that you find out the relevant requirements from the responsible authorities in good time to ensure you have all the correct documentation for the flight.

Note:

All regulations apply to Eurowings flights with an EW flight number, regardless of the operating airline. For our partner airlines' flights, which do not have an EW flight number, the conditions of the respective airline apply. These can be viewed on the airlines' own websites. These partner airlines currently include Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Condor, United Airlines, Air Canada and All Nippon Airways.

Infants with a booster seat and children over two years will have their own seat. Only infants under two years who sit on an adult`s lap, secured with a loop-belt, will not have their own seat.

Children may use a booster seat, provided you have booked a separate seat for your child (bookings for children under the age of two can only be made via the call centre or at our airport counter).

You can take your own booster seat on board. Neither Eurowings nor its partner airlines provide booster seats.

Please note that you must check in at the airport counter if you intend to use a booster seat in the cabin. As a representative at the check-in counter will make sure the booster seat is suitable for your flight, online check-in and self-service check-in are not possible.

If you would like to bring your own car seat or child restraint system on board, please make sure:

• you register the child restraint device in time via our call centre, airport service counter or use our contact form,

• you book a suitable seat in advance (not in the first row, not at the emergency exit row or in a row in front of or directly behind the emergency exit),

• you are using an approved car seat/child restraint device (see below),

• the device is in perfect working order,

• you are familiar with using the device in an aircraft,

• you will attach the device to the seat, and

• you agree to check in the car seat or child restraint device as checked baggage if it doesn't appear in the list of approved devices below, if it's not in an acceptable working order or cannot be attached to the passenger seat.

If a seat does not comply with requirements, our employees are authorised to prevent its use and to stow the seat in a separate location. In such cases, infants will be secured with a loop belt on the adult's lap. We regret that it will not be possible to refund the price paid for the separate seat.

You will find more information about approved booster seats on our “Travelling with children” page.
