Are you aware that Emirates permits kids to fly alone? The Emirates Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy permits minors between the ages of 5 and 17 to fly unaccompanied for a fee that must be added to the ticket price. Minors who are travelling alone, in a cabin apart from their parents or guardians, or who are travelling with a companion under the age of 16 must abide by this guideline. A representative of the airline will help the minor complete the security, check-in, and pre-boarding procedures.
