Aurigny Air Services will accept responsibility for children travelling alone (Unaccompanied Minors, or unmins/UMs) between the ages of six and twelve years. Note if the child has reached their 12th birthday, they are permitted to travel alone in their own right, and will, on all occasions, be treated by the airline as an adult passenger.
The carriage of UMs is subject to availability. Bookings and enquiries should be directed through Aurigny central reservations on UK +44 1481 822886, and not through this web site.

![]() ![]() ![]() airport and the person collecting them on arrival

Procedure
At the departure airport, the accompanying person will hand the minor to the Aurigny customer service agent, along with a completed Unaccompanied Minor form.
Aurigny will provide UM labels, which must be worn by the UM at all times whilst in the care of the airline.
The minor will be pre-boarded on to the aircraft into the care of the cabin staff who will assist the child during the flight.
In the case of the flight being operated by a Trislander aircraft, the Captain will be informed of their presence and where they are seated.
Once the aircraft lands, the minor will be asked to remain seated until the other passengers have disembarked, or until a member of the ground staff can attend the aircraft.
The cabin staff will then hand the minor into the care of the ground staff for assistance through baggage reclaim.
The ground staff will make positive identification of the parent/guardian using the information on the Unaccompanied Minor form, and accept a signature, before the child is handed over.
Costs
The cost of providing this service is  32 per single journey, in addition to the fare paid. This fee does not apply to flights between the Islands, or between Alderney and Southampton.
Connecting flights
Aurigny will accept minors travelling on flights that connect with other Aurigny flights, i.e. Manchester-Guernsey-Alderney. |
