A.Dear client,

Identification Requirements: In most cases, airlines require passengers, including minors, to present valid identification documents during the check-in and boarding process. For minors traveling with their parents, airlines usually accept a copy of the child's ID (such as a photocopy or a digital copy on a mobile device) as long as it is issued by a government authority and clearly shows the child's name, date of birth, and photograph.

Age of Minors: Different airlines may have different age restrictions for unaccompanied minors, meaning minors traveling without their parents or legal guardians. For minors traveling with their parents, there is usually no specific age limit, but it's essential to check the airline's policy for any age-related requirements.

Parental Consent: Airlines may require a letter of consent from the parents or legal guardians when a minor is traveling with only one parent or with a person who is not their parent or guardian. This letter serves to indicate that the child has permission to travel with the accompanying adult.

Unaccompanied Minors: For children traveling without their parents, airlines typically have specific procedures and services for unaccompanied minors to ensure their safety and well-being during the flight.

Documentation for Domestic Flights: The identification requirements for domestic flights may differ from those for international flights. Generally, for domestic travel, passengers are required to present any government-issued ID that meets the airline's guidelines.

Since aviation regulations can change and are subject to interpretation by individual airlines, it's always advisable to review the airline's specific policies and guidelines regarding minors traveling with their parents before booking a flight. If you encounter any issues during the check-in or boarding process, you can contact the airline's customer service for clarification and assistance.
