Austrian Airlines unaccompanied minors: ages, booking, and handover

Book the service through Austrian's telephone channel. The service charge is additional to the ticket and applies per child and flight segment. Start with the complete journey, including the child's age on each departure date. Ask Austrian to confirm that all connections are supported. Prepare the current assistance form and the identification and contact details of the adults dropping off and collecting the child. Keep the airline's required copies together with the travel documents. The departure adult should remain until takeoff, and the receiving adult should follow the identity-check instructions. Discuss a disruption plan before travel, especially when a connection is involved. Austrian does not allow an unaccompanied child under 12 to travel with a cabin pet, so arrange the animal separately rather than adding it to the child's booking.
