Spanish and French children under 18 years

Children under 18 travelling without their parents/legal guardians, and with an ID card, must have a form of written authorisation to travel from their parents.

The form is required for both international and domestic flights. A Family Book (Livret de Famille) is not sufficient ID for a child/infant to travel on international flights. Children travelling on Flybe international flights must have either a valid ID card or a passport along with all other necessary documents.

This travel authorisation is also required when minors that are accompanied by a person other than their father, mother or legal guardian. In such cases the travel authorisation must also clearly show the name of the accompanying person.
