What is the SWISS Airlines unaccompanied minor policy?

SWISS Airlines’ unaccompanied minor policy allows children aged 5–11 to travel alone using its mandatory UM service, while the service is optional for adolescents aged 12–17, depending on the route and parental choice. The program includes supervised check-in, assistance through security and boarding, in-flight monitoring by cabin crew, and a controlled handover to an authorized adult at the destination; fees vary by short-haul and long-haul flights, and parents are advised to book nonstop or SWISS-operated connections to avoid restrictions—overall, frequent flyers and parents in travel forums often describe SWISS as a dependable and well-organized airline for minors flying solo.
