In this article we will debunk myths, misunderstandings and deliberations related to the transportation of children in the plane. On the example of two the largest airlines Russia will give answers to questions that passengers are asked on the network.

How old can you buy a children's ticket?

Children's ticket can be bought for a child up to 12 years old. In some cases, to buy such a ticket, you must call the carrier's call center.
If your child is from 0 to 2 years old, it is considered an infant. The ticket is bought both without providing space and reserving a neighboring chair for a child.

Children from 2 to 12 years old ticket is bought only with the provision of a separate place.

In order for the child to be located next to you, Aeroflot recommends reporting the transportation of a minor in advance to secure the place.

If you fly with two or more children up to 2 years, transportation rules change slightly.

For the first infant buy a ticket without a separate place, i.e. He will be on his hands. The second and third child must take tickets with a separate destination for everyone.
Accordingly, the cost of tickets for children will be different.

In accordance with federal aviation rules (hereinafter referred to as the FAP), binding on all Russian airlines, the child's age is determined on the date of transportation from the point of departure (Section VIII, para. 103).

Example:
You fly with a child for a week in Barcelona. At the time of departure to Spain, he was 11 for another 11 years. He will celebrate his birthday in the capital of Catalonia. At the time of returning to Russia, the child is already 12 full years.
In this case, you must acquire two separate tickets. Children's Moscow - Barcelona and adult Barcelona - Moscow.

If at the time of departure to the child for 12 years, it refers to the category "adult". Ticket, he needs to buy on the general basis.

Important!
Because In 12 years, the person has no passport yet, when you make a ticket on the site, for example, S7 Airlines, choose the type of document "Other" and enter the birth certificate number.

Cost of a plane ticket

Depending on the age of the child, the plane ticket will cost free or with essential discounts.

• A ticket for a child up to 2 years without granting a separate place is issued free of charge when flying around Russia. When flying abroad, a discount will be 90% of the tariff.
• A ticket for a child up to 2 years with the provision of a separate place will cost up to 50% discount. In case of absence special conditions Tariff use.
• Other children under 2 years old, following with an adult passenger, are transported at a discount of up to 50% of the tariff.
• Children from 2 to 12 years are also transported at a discount of up to 50%. (FAP, paragraph 106)

Keep in mind that on prolonged flights of the airline may require the purchase of a ticket for a child with a separate place.

If you need to change the departure date (transfer flight), re-registration of the children's ticket is made according to the child's age at the date (new) departure.

We emphasize:

Despite the fact that a child under 2 years is transported without a separate place for free - the registration of the ticket for it is necessary. Those. You can not buy a ticket only for yourself and come to register with the child. In this case, the airline will refuse you in transportation, because Transport rules will be violated.

Baggage on the child

Depending on the airline standards free baggage For a child may differ.
In most airlines for the child, 10 kg of free luggage are fixed without providing a separate place.
When buying a ticket with a separate place, the standard of free baggage corresponds to the tariff.

For example, in Aeroflot, this is:

• Without granting a place: 1 place weighing up to 10 kg and the size of no more than 115 cm with a dry of three dimensions.
• When granting a place, depending on the class of service and tariff rules.

Airlines in addition to the rate of free baggage allow for free to carry out a carriage or cradle. The stroller should not be in the factory packaging.

Cradle in an airplane for a child

If you need cracker to transport a child, we recommend calling the airline in advance and clarify the provision or possibility of attaching the cradle on the plane.

The airline S7 Airlines does not provide crackers to small passengers.
In Aeroflot Airlines, there is the possibility of placing the lug in the cabin.
As a rule, fixtures for fastening the cradle are in the front rows having a solid partition.
In Aeroflote, such places on the plane only in the business class salons.

Accompanying a child in an airplane without parents

In accordance with the FAP (paragraph 104), the child from 2 to 12 years can make a flight without parents under the supervision of the carrier. If such a service is provided by the airline.

There are several nuances that need to know the passenger.

For the most part, airlines, offer the service "Transportation under the supervision of the airline" with children from 5 to 16 years.

Registration of such services to children under 12 years old - is mandatory. From 12 to 16 years - at the discretion of parents or legal representatives.
Because For this service, you need a personal presence of a legitimate representative and filling out documents, buy a ticket for a child with a representative of the representative of the airline, only in the representative offices of the carrier or its agents.

In some airlines, this service is paid. Depending on the direction, in Aeroflot, the cost of escorting from 40 euros.

Important!
An adult must come to the airport with a child and approach the reception. Stay at the airport before the departure of the aircraft.

Pay the same attention that in each airline has its own requirements for this service.

In S7 Airlines, the flight of children without adults is possible only on direct flights and only on flights under the airline code.
Aeroflot can accompany children on connecting flights and flights with transfers. In this case, parents need to pay for the child's nutrition. The cost of docking up to 3 hours and more indicated on the official website of the airline.

How is escort:
After registering, an airline employee escorts the child on board the vessel, where he transfers his flight attendant. By contact phone Parents report that a child in the plane.

All documents of the child are invested in the tablet (pockets for documents). When passing the child, an airline employee, this tablet is put on a child on the neck and remains there all the time of the flight.

Upon arrival at the end item, the airport transfers the child an airport employee. He transfers the child to a meeting.

If a person who needs to meet a child does not turn out to be in place, and it will not be possible to contact him, it will make your parents. If the situation is not possible to decide on the spot, the child will be sent back to the departure point when accompanied by a representative of the airline.
A person who meets the child at the airport of arrival must have an identity card with a photo.

What documents are needed by a child

• Flight tickets
• Filled forms and applications with these marching and meeting faces (FULL NAME, address, phone)
• Receipt of payment services (if it is paid)
• Child birth certificate
• Identity Certificate
• On the international flights: passport, visa and other documents for the country
• Power of attorney for the departure of the child.

Important information for sending a child abroad!
Before traveling, consult in the embassy or consulate of the country of stay for traveling a child without parents.

In some countries, there are legislative restrictions on the movement of minors without accompanying legal representatives.
Restrictions can relate to accommodation in the hotel in the event of a breakdown of docking or flight delays.
The airline may refuse to transport to countries with legislative restrictions on the basis of the FAP, paragraph 107.

Traveling with children is always troublesome. As a rule, there are a lot of questions. In our article, consider the question related to the purchase of tickets to children.

Flights for children until 1 year

The concepts of "air ticket for a child up to the year" does not exist. Traveler children share only two categories:

1. INF (infant, baby, child up to 2 years old);
2. CHD (Child, children from 2 to 12 years old).

Depending on which category your child relates to, the size of the discount is changing, which can be obtained from the design of children's ticket.

Flights for children up to 2 years (INF)

The child under 2 can fly with parents without a separate passenger seat in the plane for free. Previously need to be issued a zero ticket, otherwise your baby will not be allowed.

When making a zero air ticket, you need to specify the age of the child at the time of the flight, and not at the time of booking. So if, at the time of the purchase of a ticket to your child 1 year 9 months, and at the time of departure 2 years 1 day, the booking system issues a misconception error of the date of birth. In this case, choosing the type of passenger, you need to indicate a "child 2-12 years old" and pay it according to a special rate for children.

Some airlines (most often international) may require the payment of airflight in the amount of 10% of its full cost.

According to the rules of air transportation, one adult can carry only one child for free of charge for 2 years, for each subsequent child you need to purchase a separate children's air ticket for children 2-12 years old. Its cost will be accurately the same as for children of this age. The same children's separate air tickets need to buy if you want your baby to occupy a separate place.

Children under 2 years old - full passengers, so you can carry the luggage weighing up to 10 kg. Pediatric stroller transported in the luggage compartment for free. Also, air carriers provide the opportunity to order for transportation cradle for babies and special food.

Flights Children from 2 to 12 years old (CHD)

For children age from 2 years to 12 years more attracted children's air ticket with a separate place. If at the time of booking your child will be 11 years and 6 months, and at the date of departure it turned 12 years and 1 month, then you need to buy an adult ticket.
The price of children's air ticket depends on the airline. In most airlines, a discount on a plane ticket is 50%, but sometimes it can be higher - up to 70%.

As for baggage for children from 2 years to 12 years, the same as in adults.

If during the trip, the child marks 2 years or 13 years

By purchasing a flight on both sides, many face the situation when during the trip a child marks two years (or 13 years). The cost of the ticket for flight depends on the airline. Conditionally can be divided into three categories:

Airlines allowing the flight to and back at the INF tariff (for children up to 2 years);

Airlines that ask for two different tickets: one, on the flight "there", at the tariff inf, the other, "back" - at the CHD tariff. Or immediately buy a plane ticket at both directions at a rate for children from 2 to 12 years.

The airlines, asking for booking air tickets to both sides at the CHD tariff.

Flights Children of Invalidam

Since 2014, a special program is actively developing in Russia, aimed at ensuring that children with disabilities do not feel flawed in society of normal children. So people with disabilities were able to get the right to. Airlines created special rules for the transport of persons with disabilities, including children:

• Children - disabled people who are chained to the stroller or children without the possibility of themselves to move on their own, mandatory must make a flight only accompanied by parents or guardians, since they are engaged in the child's service during the flight.
• Before the airline flight, you need to provide information (as a query) on the need to create special conditions for the flight of a disabled person. For example, equipment (stretcher, wheelchair) or accommodation assistance. If there will be no special equipment on the aircraft for the security of a disabled child, the airline may refuse the child's transportation
• In the event of a hearing disability, a child can travel on a preferential ticket, without providing a specially equipped place.
• In the event of vision disability - a journey with a dog guide, with the provision of special documents for it. The dog should be tied to the seat of the child and be sure to be in a muzzle.

Disabled child up to 2 yearsmay make a flight without a place, under the same conditions as the usual children of this age.

Disabled child from 2 years to 12 years The plane provides a separate place. The size of benefits depends on the degree of disability and can be from 25% to 50% of the total cost of the ticket.

Some airlines conduct shares for children with disabilities. Once a year, providing them with the opportunity to make a flight for free if it is due to the need for treatment abroad. What, accordingly, must be confirmed by additional documents.

Is it possible to buy an adult to the child

If your child flies without accompaniment, he can buy an adult ticket. In this case, payment for a plane ticket will be 100%.

Traveling with children is a rather difficult task, because they do not always behave well, and the rules of their transportation usually differ significantly from similar adult rules. On the other hand, many types of transport passengers under certain age are provided with ticket discounts. If the planned journey should occur by plane, long before the departure should be clarified all the formalities associated with the transportation of your baby accompanying you.

Transportation rules

Additional complexity in determining the rules of transport is the fact that some of them is established by the state and is common to all airlines, while others are the solution of the most carrier. In general, the airline is trying to build their policies in such a way as not to degrade the flight conditions for their customers, but the requirements may still differ.

To avoid surprises, all the smallest details should be clarified in advance.

Age

The most important thing in the question of the presence of benefits for a child is whether they are in general (and to what age is valid). Actually, there would be no benefits - there would be no this article, so they naturally exist.

Let's start with the youngest category - kids up to 2 years. In the professional airline dictionary, such passengers are called "babies", in English compliance - "Infant". With such children in the financial plan of problems least. They fly only for 10% of the cost, and sometimes, if you fly literally on your hands at the accompanying adult - and in general for free. Price policy It depends on the specific carrier.

It is necessary to take into account that if kids are more than adults, it does not matter whether they will fit on their hands. On all babies, except for each adult, it will be necessary to issue separate places, and it will almost certainly be free. By the way, even if the company does not require any money for the carriage of the baby, it is still necessary to arrange a ticket for him - unkild passengers are not skipped.

There is another preferential category of small passengers - in tickets it is indicated as a "child", or "Child" here include children aged 2 to 12 years. In principle, they fly in the same way as adults - they are issued a separate place, it is provided for them and luggage in the "adult" volume, but also there is a discount. The specific value is difficult to specify - this is exactly the case when the carrier itself determines how to do it, but it usually has to pay 50-75% of the total cost of the flight.

If a child over 12 years old, then the discount is no longer supposed to him - for him you will have to acquire an adult pass document.

A minor teenager should have certain documents with him, the exact set of which depends on who it is he who flies - if only he does not travel to the company of both parents.

At the same time remember one an important rule: The child's age when booking tickets is taken into account by the date of arrival, and these borders of the ages imply a strict birthday. In other words, the baby is a baby, if he or 1 year, or not. As soon as the little marks 2 years, he becomes just a child on the same day. The same applies to the transition from the "child" stage to the adult - a day when it turns 12 years, preferential tickets for a small passenger become inaccessible. This means that in the case of a trip, during which the child is executed or 2 years, or 12 years, it is impossible to book tickets according to the "there and back" scheme. They will have to buy them separately, because the passenger in flight "there" will be listed in one category, and when "back" - already in more adult.

Many are also interested in the question of how old the child can fly alone. There is no specific answer here. On the one hand, since 2 years old, paragraph 104 of the FAP allows you to fly without parents, but under the supervision of the carrier, but the airline reserve the right to increase the minimum age of such a traveler to avoid risks. Such conditionally independent flights can be allowed from 3, 4 or even 6 years old, but most often from the age of 5 (unless, of course, the carrier is generally represented by such a service). It is possible that it will have to pay extra, and in general - when flying unaccompanied adults, often even for a child you have to pay 100% of the cost of the ticket.

For independent journey Under supervision, it is important that this observation is not interrupted anywhere. The sending side in the face of an adult is obliged when buying a ticket to contact the representative office of the carrier and fill out all the necessary documents there, and then before sending to come with a young passenger to the airport and personally transfer it to the representative of the airline. He will give him a flight attendant and inform the "sender" on the phone that the child flew away. The sending side is also required to stay at the airport until the aircraft departure.

On the site of arrival, the scheme works on the contrary: the flight attendant transmits a small representative of the airline, and the receiving party, but only if there is a person confirming the person.

In the event that no one took the child, accompanying first contact their parents. If for some reason the situation is impossible to decide, the passenger will go back.

Airlines can establish restrictions on the movement of this kind - for example, limit the accompaniment only with their direct flights (or resolve transplants). If there are lengthy transfers, the carrier may additionally require a kid nutrition fee.

Some parents are sincerely experienced for children of 10-12 years old (and even older), so many airlines offer a flight service under observation for passengers up to 16 years. At the same time, observation is mandatory only up to 12 years, and for more adult passengers it is already optional - at the discretion of the parents. Such a teenager can fly independently.

Benefits and tariff formation

As for benefits and tariffs, this moment refers to the liability field of each individual carrier, not regulatory authorities. There are some general rules, however, they are rather recommendatory in nature, so the exact cost should be specified, based on a particular airline and a certain flight date. In general, it is possible to distinguish such patterns (which, again, are not guaranteed):

• Children under 2 years oldthey fly free or almost free (especially in cases where they do not occupy individual places).
• Children from 2 to 12 years Discounts in the amount of 25-50% are provided, but this is only if they fly with adults. If the discounts themselves may not be at all.
• Additional services (For example, the carrier's observation) can significantly increase the cost of the ticket.
• As in the case of adult flights,booking travel documents significantly earlier than the date of the trip allows you to get a substantial discount.

Required documents

Where and with whom the children would not fly, they will necessarily need documents, which in any situation they should be with them. Not talking about tickets - this is granted.

The easiest way, if a child flies at least one parent - then there is enough birth certificate indicating that the accompanying adult is really the closest relative. If the child flies himself, the list of documents is sharply increasing. In particular, you will also need:

• Blanks, Indicating passport and contact details (both faithful and meeting persons).
• If necessary Payment services accompaniment - payment receipt.
• Birth certificate.
• In faithful and meeting persons- Documents confirming their identity.

However, this will be not enough if the baby flies abroad, but it will be described in more detail below.

Additional services

Some airlines are trying to take care of even the youngest passengers, therefore provide various additional services. The support service for the independent flight has already been mentioned, but this is not all.

In particular, for the smallest many carriers provide a special cradle, which is quite practical for those children who are not too comfortable to sit in the chair. In addition, you can get some other useful things, such as diapers and napkins, whirls, even drinking bottle.

The children are not overweight.

From the intangible person they can provide the possibility of viewing during the flight of cartoons or children's channels, but there are and material gifts. Usually it is typical baby things - coloring and drawing sets, various books and mosaics, puzzles, toys, games. In the points of transfers, special game rooms are often equipped, which will allow anything to take a young traveler.

International Flights

All you read above is significantly complicated if the flight is international. Here, everything is largely dependent on the country where the child flies, because each state has its own rules.

Let's start with value. Discounts for children with the same age categories (up to 2 and up to 12 years) are practice common worldwide, but even approximate figures are difficult to call. In general, it would be fair to say that such discounts are already somewhat less than with a flight inside the country.

According to current legislation, the child has the right to fly away from the country, accompanied by one of the parents without the documentary consent of the second, unless the court recognizes the right of the second to prohibit such movements. But according to independent displacements, the rules may be much more tougher - in particular, in some states they are not allowed at all, so it is necessary to clarify such information either from the carrier, or at the embassy of the country where the aircraft is sent.

As for the documents, the task here is also somewhat complicated. The exception is except to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. In these countries, children under the age of 14 may fly on an ordinary birth certificate - provided that they travel with adults. Independent departure abroad Let's say from age 8 years, but in this case it is necessary notarized by the consent of both parents.

If the flight is scheduled to be plans to some other country, which was not mentioned above, then the passport will also be needed.

The list of documents strongly depends on the rules of the state, because in some cases it may be even necessary for the drug permission necessary for the child and pronounced with them. For this reason, the most practical will specify the rules for the entry of children as of a specific date is for the country where you plan to go.

Where can I see the ticket price and buy it?

Today there are quite a lot of ways to buy a ticket - now it is so convenient that you can do even without going to the cashier. Although there is an exception - if you plan to send children under the supervision of the carrier, you will have to purchase a travel lot in the representation of the company.

In all other cases, the Internet will be perfect.

The most relevant and absolutely proven information about the rates are provided by official airline sites, they usually offer and the purchase option. At the same time there are dozens of various sites (and even applications for gadgets), which allow us to visually compare prices of various carriers for the same direction. At the same time, they also allow you to immediately acquire the desired. Tear that prices for air tickets are prone to permanent oscillation. They change both due to currency fluctuations, and depending on the specific day (on weekends and for holidays, you are usually more expensive) or time before departure (the earlier you book, the cheaper). This means that today you could see the necessary ticket at one price, and tomorrow, deciding to book, you will be surprised by the other. Most likely, it will be unpleasant, because over time, the cost is almost always increasing.

• Is all formalities complied with?Do not hesitate to ask the carrier once again from the carrier, whether you prepared all documents for the carriage of the baby.
• In the cabin, have in hand luggage All the most necessary for the kid.If it is a baby, do not forget the pacifier and the bottle is not a fact that the carrier will give them away. Such a solution will help that during the takelet did not lay the ears, and for older children, candy will become a replacement.
• On the road, a young passenger will probably want to eat and drink.Try to be something that is something that it will have to taste to taste - it is not only the hunger quench, but also remove stress, and also improve the mood of the chad. Sometimes right in the plane you can get baby food (ordered in advance). You can also ask to heat taken with you. By the way, the air in the cabin is very dry, so we take the water with a margin.
• Think about entertainment in the way- Non-units will be books, toys, coloring or even multimedia devices with cartoons and tutorial games.
• Minimal medication setalso does not hurt.

The main thing is not to repeat the errors of the heroes of the movie "One House", which in a hurry and turmoil forgot to take their own child, and then everything will be fine!
