First Time Flyers
First time travellers are usually more anxious than others. This is natural but can be made so much smoother and enjoyable if certain rules and procedures are followed:
• Be sure to research security dos and don’ts at the airport of departure and final destination, so that you won’t go about discussing your latest bomb experiment for Science class with the air hostess;
• Ensure you know what items are allowed through customs. Items that need to be declared should be accompanied by an invoice listed on your declaration form;
Unaccompanied Minors
(Children 15 years and older are generally considered young adults)
• Parents/guardians dropping off minors at the airport will be required to fill out a form with the child’s name, age, contact information and other details;
• Most airlines will not allow children under seven (7) to embark on connecting flights, but in the event the child is older they may be allowed to do so, assisted by airline personnel, with a fee of usually USD $75-$100 charged;
The Elderly
• Must be able to provide the name, address and contact information of the person(s) who will be receiving them at the point of final destination, preferably written;
• Requests for wheelchairs and other forms of assistance should be made prior to the day of travel so as to avoid long waits at the airport or unavailable assistance;
