Would you like your small child to fly on an Emirates flight alone? Despite the fact that children are permitted to fly alone, both the parents or guardians and the children must abide by the norms and guidelines outlined in the Emirates Unaccompanied Minor Policy. These guidelines state that children under the age of 14 must purchase a ticket through the Emirates Unaccompanied Minor Program in order to qualify for special benefits from the airlines, such as pre-boarding, travel assistance, snacks, etc. For youth above the age of 14, an additional cost is charged for these tickets, but it is not required.
