British Airways unaccompanied minor policy
British Airways' unaccompanied minor policy, as of 05 January 2024, ensures that children traveling alone have a safe and enjoyable journey. The airline provides special assistance for minors aged 5 to 11 years flying without a parent or guardian. For children aged 12 to 17, the airline offers an optional unaccompanied minor service, which includes additional supervision during their flight.
When booking a flight for an unaccompanied minor, it is crucial to inform British Airways in advance. This service is available on both domestic and international flights. The airline assigns a dedicated staff member to escort the child through check-in, security, boarding, and disembarkation at the destination airport.
Important Notes for Unaccompanied Minors
- Unaccompanied minors are required to be booked through the British Airways managed booking page.
- An adult fare ticket is needed for this service, and availability depends on the flight route and age of the child.
- The unaccompanied minor must carry identification, including any necessary travel documents like a passport for British Air international flights.
- Unaccompanied minors must be picked up by an authorized adult at the destination airport.

British Airways' infant policy
British Airways also has a thoughtful infant policy for parents traveling with young children under the age of 2 years. Infants who are traveling on a parent's lap are allowed to fly for a reduced fare. However, a whole child fare applies if you wish to book a separate seat for your infant.
Infants are entitled to a carrycot or bassinet on most long-haul flights, but availability is limited and must be booked in advance. Parents are encouraged to bring their baby essentials on board, such as food, diapers, and baby wipes, and these items can be carried in the cabin without counting toward your baggage allowance.
Benefits of Traveling with Infants
- Priority boarding for families traveling with infants.
- Special meals for infants, depending on the duration and destination of the flight.
- Baby bassinets are available in premium cabins on long-haul flights (subject to availability).
- Infants under 2 years old are allowed a free checked baggage allowance of one piece, up to a specific weight limit, and a carry-on bag with essential items.
