Do you want to know more about Emirates' policy on unaccompanied minors? The Emirates Unaccompanied Minor Policy is designed for children under the age of 5 who are flying alone, in another cabin with their parents or guardians, or sharing a flight with another child. While it is not required for them, minors older than 12 and up to 16 years old can also benefit from this service. When a minor is enrolled under this policy, an Emirates executive will be in charge of helping them with the security and check-in procedures. They are given precedence when boarding as well.
