Document Summary

An Authorisation Letter to Accompany Child on a Flight, is given when a parent is travelling with a child alone and require the approval of the child’s legal guardian. This letter gives power coupled with responsibility of having the full and complete authority to supposedly act on such.

From its meaning, an authorization letter is not just a letter that provides privilege but also entitles responsibility on the one who signed it. The letter protects both sides. If a minor is traveling, the authorization letter for a child to travel alone will protect the travel agency or transit for any liabilities that may arise because an underage was traveling alone. On the other hand, it would be a solution for parents who are divorced and/or busy enough to accompany their child to all his/her travels. An authorization letter for a child to travel alone would be sufficient to let the child travel on his/her own while it would be the responsibility of the travel agency to make sure that the child was received by the authorized person mentioned in the letter.
