What are the requirements for a minor child to travel alone?

Infants, children and adolescents may travel alone or accompanied by a responsible adult, depending on their age.

• Infants and children between 0 and 7 years must always travel accompanied by a person over 18 years of age.
• Children between 8 and 11 years of age must travel accompanied by a person over 18 years of age or an independent adolescent (if traveling with a parent). If they are traveling in a different cabin, at the time of boarding, they must inform the crew which seat the minor is in. They can also travel alone, but it is mandatory to request our unaccompanied minor service where LATAM personnel will guard the child during the entire journey, including immigration and security controls, until the child is handed over to the authorized person at the end of the trip.
• Teenagers between 12 and 17 years old can travel alone upon presentation of the corresponding country's documentation, although they can also hire the service as an option.
• On domestic flights within Peru, teenagers between 14 and 17 years of age can only travel alone upon presentation of a notarized permit.

You can find more information in our Unaccompanied Minors section. Also, remember that minors may require permission from their parents or guardians.

We suggest consulting with the corresponding entity regarding the documents and authorizations required for traveling with minors alone or with one of their parents.
