Travel Requirements:
The Unaccompanied Minor Form (UNMR form) must be completed and signed by the child’s parent(s) or guardian(s) before the departure date. The form can be viewed and downloaded from https://corporate.spicejet.com/content/pdf/UNMR_Form.pdf.
If there is more than one minor travelling under the same PNR, only one UNMR form is required, provided that the minors share the same parents, address, and contact number.
On the day of departure, passengers must carry four printed copies of the signed and completed UNMR form to the ticketing counter. This form authorises the airline to care for the child until they are handed over to the designated recipient upon arrival.
Along with the copies of the UNMR form, it is also mandatory to present valid photo identification for both the parent/guardian and the minor(s).
Parent/guardian and the minor(s) must arrive at the departure airport at least 2 hours prior to departure for domestic flights and at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights for a smooth handover of the unaccompanied minor(s) to the airport staff.
After the necessary paperwork is processed, the airport staff will take responsibility for the minor(s) from that point onward.
Care and Assistance for Unaccompanied Minors:
Airline staff will assist unaccompanied minors throughout the journey, including during airport procedures.
Seats will be assigned closer to the cabin crew to ensure they are looked after at all times. Dedicated cabin crew will ensure their needs are met in-flight.
A complimentary meal and beverage are provided on board from the available options.
Travel Restrictions for Unaccompanied Minors:
Unaccompanied minors are not accepted if an overnight stay is required for flight connections.
SpiceJet does not transfer unaccompanied minors to international terminals for connecting flights with other airlines.
Unaccompanied minors cannot transit between domestic and international flights with SpiceJet.
Arrival Handover:
Upon arrival, minor(s) are released only to the authorised individual specified in the form, who must present valid photo identification.
The authorised individual designated to receive the unaccompanied minor(s) at the arrival city must arrive at the airport as per the estimated flight arrival time and contact the SpiceJet office for coordination.
Once the minor(s) have been handed over from the flight to our arrival staff, our team will coordinate with the authorised individual for the minor(s)' handover.
The authorised individual must present valid photo identification to the arrival staff before the minor(s) are released.
Any checked-in baggage will be collected by the airline’s arrival staff and handed over along with the minor(s) to the parent/guardian.
Web Check-in Restriction for Unaccompanied Minors:
Unaccompanied minors (UNMR) are not eligible for web check-in. Check-in will be completed with the assistance of airline staff when the minor is dropped off at the airport ticketing counter by the parent/guardian.
Children aged 5 to 18 years can travel alone to the UAE only as unaccompanied minors, and must have a copy of their parents' passports. They also need to have a form filled out by their parents with relevant details of their home address/U.A.E. address, and information about who will be receiving them in the UAE.
If the minor or child is traveling with another family member, an authorization letter from the parents or guardians, along with a copy of the parent or guardian's passport, is required.
The minor may be deported if immigration suspects illegal activity and the provided information is insufficient to address it. In such cases, the normal INAD process and subsequent fines will apply.
