Special cases

Shuttle Service

To buy tickets for the shuttle, an ID card or passport must be presented as a means of identification. If the minor is accompanied by their parents, the parents' ID will be sufficient to link them to the child's ticket.

Identification on international flights

<p class="paragraph paragraph__regular">On international flights (European and other countries), as there is no standardised regulation, all minors (travelling accompanied or unaccompanied, regardless of their age) must present their own document, ID or passport, and comply with the requirements of the destination country.</p>
<p class="paragraph paragraph__regular">If they travel alone and do not have a passport, their ID must be accompanied by a parent or guardian authorisation formalised in a Police Department.</p>
 

Vluchten naar/vanaf Mexico

Alle minderjarigen die alleen reizen naar/van Mexico of door een derde persoon begeleid worden, die niet de ouder of wettelijke voogd is, moeten een document tonen dat ondertekend is door beide ouders of door degene die het ouderlijke gezag of voogdij, ten overstaan van de notaris of bevoegde autoriteit, heeft, waarin staat dat ze het nationale grondgebied mogen verlaten. Wanneer het een document betreft dat afgegeven is in het buitenland dient dit gelegaliseerd en vertaald te zijn, indien het een andere taal dan Spaans betreft. In het geval van Spanje heeft de politie een machtigingsformulier voor deze gevallen.
