What is an Unaccompanied Minor?
An Unaccompanied Minor (UM) is a child or teenager travelling without an accompanying adult. Age regulations and conditions vary depending on the airline.

Airline staff accompany the child during check-in, through security and passport control, and until boarding. They also ensure that the child is handed over to the authorised representative at the destination airport.

Please note that airlines charge additional fees for this service.

Important information
At the destination, the child will only be handed over to the officially registered representative of the school or camp. For our camps in Switzerland, we offer a UM service for CHF 100 per way.
