Unaccompanied Minor Travel Guidelines

• Unaccompanied Minors must be checked-in by an adult guardian who must provide photo identification and contact information, as well as the relationship to the child. On arrival in the destination city, the Icelandair ground agent will also check photo identification and contact information before releasing the child to the guardian, who is predetermined in the child's reservation documents.
• Travel documents for the Unaccompanied minor concerned are placed in a special Icelandair wallet clearly visible on the child.
• If your child is travelling as an Unaccompanied Minor, please download the following form which will be needed at the airport before departure.
