Child discount on plane tickets

Age limits for child discounts

  • Children between 2 and 11 years old may receive a discount on flight tickets
  • The discount applies only if the child is still 11 years old or younger during the journey
  • Whether a discount is available depends on the terms and conditions of the airline


Important exception

  • If the child is 11 years old on the outbound trip but turns 12 before the return trip, adult prices usually apply for the whole journey

This depends on the terms and conditions of the airline


For unaccompanied children

If you want to book a flight ticket for a child between 5 and 16 years old who will be travelling alone, some airlines offer an Unaccompanied Minor Service


Please contact the airline directly if you wish to book for an unaccompanied child
