Children and infants are subject to the same identification requirements as adults, where they have an approved form of photographic identification. Exceptions from the photographic identification requirements can given for children and infants travelling domestically with an adult, where a birth certificate or other documentation proving age and identity may be accepted.
To save any confusion or delays at the airport, ensure that you have the appropriate identification for all members of your travelling party.
Please allow 60 minutes for Domestic travel, and 2 hours for International travel when travelling with a child. Check-in team members may request proof of date of birth for domestic travel – extracts or copies of birth certificates are acceptable, as are immunisation books. For detailed information on identification requirements on domestic flights see section: “Forms of Identification: Domestic travel”.
Refer to the baggage allowance pages for infant and child baggage allowances.
To provide for the well-being of the children travelling alone, otherwise known as “Unaccompanied Minors”, Solomon Airlines has specific requirements.
Please note that any COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for your destination must be clearly met prior to day of departure.
If your child or children are aged between 5-11 years of age inclusive and will be travelling without the supervision of a parent or guardian who is fifteen years of older they are classified as an unaccompanied minor.
The service must be booked with your licensed Travel Agent or Solomon Airlines office at least 48 hours prior to travel, and an “Unaccompanied Minor Form” will have to be completed prior to arrival for check-in at the airport outlining the full details of who is dropping off the child and who is picking up the child at the other end for each journey.
While we will do our best to ensure that your child’s experience of travelling is an enjoyable one, there are a few extra things you can do to make it just that bit easier. Make sure your child knows who is to meet them upon arrival at the final destination. Explain to your child how important their passport and tickets are, and ensure that they can recognize both.
To find out more or to make arrangements for an unaccompanied minor, please contact your licensed Travel Agent or your nearest Solomon Airlines office.
Unaccompanied Minor fee will apply.
Customers who want to make changes to bookings for children travelling alone can contact Solomon Airlines to make these changes. If you have booked flights through a travel agent, please reach out to them directly to make changes.
