Entry requirements for children
Travelling with a baby
You may fly with your newborn as early as seven days after birth. Babies younger than seven days old require an attest from their family doctor that they are fit to travel.
The right travel documents
If you want to fly on holiday with your baby or toddler, they must have their own passport (depending on the destination, their own identity card may be sufficient). For this reason, you should apply to the relevant authorities for the necessary documents plenty of time before the start of your journey.
Special entry requirements for children
In many cases, children travelling alone or with only one parent require an authorisation from the parents or the parent who is not present. If there is no such document, the authorities can refuse entry or exit. In some countries, fines may also be imposed on the airline. Edelweiss reserves the right to pass on such costs to those responsible.
Please check the regulations applicable to your destination before travelling.
Important notice
Please note that entry requirements and other regulations may change at short notice. For this reason, Edelweiss cannot guarantee that this page provides a complete overview of all country-specific regulations. We recommend that all guests also check directly with the relevant authorities or official bodies before travelling to find out about any entry requirements and other regulations applicable to their destination.
Special entry and exit regulations apply to persons under the age of 18.
