Unaccompanied children

Is your child traveling alone? Air France staff will provide assistance at the airport, on board, and during connections to ensure your child´s comfort and safety.

Throughout the year, we offer an assistance service for children aboard all of our flights.
This service is also available on flights provided by HOP*, Air Corsica and CityJet, as well as some partner airlines. For more information, please contact your booking service or travel agency.

* Only for children from 4 to 11 years of age on flights within metropolitan France or to a French overseas departments, and for children from 5 to 14 years of age on international flights.

Assistance for your child

Assistance conditions for children traveling alone (i.e. not accompanied by an adult) vary depending on the child´s age and travel destination.

Please note:

An accompanying adult may be under 18 years of age if he or she is the child´s father, mother, or legal guardian.
If your child is traveling on the same flight as you, but in a different travel cabin, this is considered traveling alone.

Air France also provides assistance for children with disabilities or reduced mobility, though some conditions apply. For more information, please contact Saphir , our service for passengers with reduced mobility.
