Children Travel

In fact, your child is never travelling alone if he/she is travelling on Cyprus Airways. We care and always make sure that he/she will experience a safe, happy and memorable trip.

The following points are a few guidelines to help you plan your child`s trip. For further information please contact Cyprus Airways Reservations Offices and we`ll be happy to assist you with our Unaccompanied Minors "UM" service.

Please note that you cannot make reservation for "UMs" on cyprusair.com

Children Travelling alone

Infants cannot travel alone under any circumstances.

The Unaccompanied Minor "UM" forms and documents should be completed prior to departure.

The "UM" should be brought to the airport 2 hours prior to departure by a responsible adult who will remain at the airport until the flight has departed.

At the Arriving airport

"UMs" must be met at the destination by the parent or responsible adult designated on the UM form.

During the flight

The cabin crew will be informed before the flight about your child`s name, age and any special requirements they may have. They will regularly check that your child is comfortable and that he/she enjoys our flight.

General Information

Cyprus Airways does not accept responsibility for "UMs" beyond the airport of embarkation and disembarkation. "UMs" may not be accepted for travel if the journey involves a transfer with a stop over (unless the parent or guardian have arranged for the child to be met and cared at the transfer point).

For interline carriage, "UMs" are permitted only for immediate continuous space, all segments of which have been confirmed.

A fee is charged for "UM" travel
 

Children accompanied while travelling

Children 12 years of age or younger may fly if they are accompanied by a passenger who is at least 16 years of age.
