Iberia: booking an unaccompanied child correctly

For a child under 12, arrange the booking through an Iberia office or travel agency rather than treating it as an ordinary online adult booking. Check which airline operates every segment and give the booking agent the child's date of birth. Obtain confirmation of the assistance service, not just the flight reservation. Fill in the current declaration with the responsible adults' full names, identification details, and contact numbers, and check any government consent or entry documents for the route. Plan the airport handover with both adults. The person bringing the child should remain until the flight has departed, while the receiving adult should carry the identification specified in the declaration. Ask how a delayed connection or diversion will be handled, and review the total service charge for the actual itinerary before payment.
