Avianca Airlines UMNR Policy – What Parents Should Know Before Booking a Solo Flight for Your Child

 When your child needs to fly alone, it can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Thankfully, Avianca Airlines offers a structured UMNR (Unaccompanied Minor) policy to ensure young flyers are cared for every step of the way. Whether it's their first solo trip or a routine visit to relatives, Affluence Travels is here to help you understand the ins and outs of Avianca’s UMNR services and assist with booking.



What is the UMNR Program?

UMNR stands for Unaccompanied Minor, a service offered by Avianca Airlines for children who travel alone. The airline takes full responsibility for the child’s safety and comfort during the journey—from check-in to arrival at their destination.

 Who Qualifies?

Mandatory UMNR Service: Children aged 5 to 11 years flying alone must use the unaccompanied minor service.

Optional UMNR Service: Teens aged 12 to 17 can travel alone without this service, but parents may still request it for added peace of mind.

What’s Included in Avianca’s UMNR Service?

Check-in Support: A staff member assists with documentation and security clearance.

Escort Through the Airport: The child is guided to the gate and supervised until they board.

In-Flight Monitoring: Cabin crew is informed and keeps a watchful eye during the flight.

Arrival Support: The child is handed over to an authorized adult listed on the UMNR form.

Required Documents

Parents or guardians must fill out a UMNR authorization form, provide copies of ID for all responsible adults, and be present at both departure and arrival points for check-in and pickup.

What’s the Cost?

Avianca charges a UMNR service fee per route, which varies based on destination. Additional charges may apply for connecting flights or international routes.

 Things to Keep in Mind

UMNRs are not allowed on codeshare flights or overnight layovers.

The airline may refuse service during severe weather conditions or delays.

Arrival and pickup adults must show valid ID and be present on time—no exceptions.

 Need Help?

Booking a solo flight for your child can be overwhelming. That’s why Affluence Travels is here to assist you with forms, bookings, and making sure your child has a smooth travel experience.
