The documentation required for children to fly depends on their age and whether they are flying domestically or internationally. Here is a breakdown of what children need to fly based on the search results:
Domestic Flights:
- Children under the age of 2 can fly in their parents lap and typically do not need identification.
- Children aged 2-18 do not need any extra documentation to fly domestically if they are flying with a parent or guardian.
- Children aged 2-18 will need some form of identification or documentation if they are flying alone.
International Flights:
- All children, regardless of age, will need a passport to fly internationally.
- Children may also need a visa depending on the destination country.
- Airlines may require additional documentation, such as a medical release form or a copy of the child's birth certificate, for children under a certain age.
It's important to note that while minors under the age of 18 typically do not have to present identification for domestic U.S. travel, it's best to be cautious and bring it. Additionally, flight requirements can differ per airline, so it's always a good idea to check with the airline before traveling with children.
