On an Emirates aircraft, will your kids be travelling alone? Emirates Airlines allows minors between the ages of 5 and 17 to fly by themselves as long as they adhere to a few simple rules. The Emirates Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy is required for minors under the age of 14, and there are some additional fees in addition to the base ticket price. Then, airlines are responsible for providing travel assistance and safety to young customers, in addition to offering amenities like pre-boarding and complimentary drinks.
