Ways to Book Lufthansa Unaccompanied Minor Services

Even though Lufthansa lets its flyers book tickets for minors online, it is important to note that it does not allow booking unaccompanied minors’ services from the site. However, you can use the following ways to do so:

• You can visit the airport and get it done.
• By giving a call to Lufthansa Airlines
• With the assistance of a travel agency, such as Tours N Travel Pro, Flightaura, etc.

Necessary Documents For Unaccompanied Minor Traveling

If a child is traveling alone, it is necessary that he carries the following documents along with him:

• Passport or Identification Card mentioning the age of the traveler.
• Copy of Special Service form with the details.
• Visa of the destination (if needed)
• Child’s allergy information (if any)
• Certificate of travel insurance (if required)
• Copy of the payment slip for the services
• Parents’ consent declaration stating that the child can travel alone

Points to Remember

Remember the following when you send your child to fly with Lufthansa alone.

• You should make three copies of the special services form. One for the airline, one for the parents/guardian, and a third one for the child to carry along.
• Make sure you collect the yellow bag that the airline offers to everyone traveling under Lufthansa Minors Policy.
• You can not make an unaccompanied minors reservation from the official website of the airline.
• Make sure you pay for the services 24 hours prior to the departure. The same goes for check-in.
