Who can travel?

Widerøe offers assistance to children aged 5 to 17 years travelling alone on all Widerøe flights. On international routes, the upper age limit is up to 15 years.

Children under 12 years must travel as "children travelling alone", unless they are travelling with a person who is at least 16 years old.

Where can they fly?

• On all Widerøe routes both domestic and international.
• If the route is in combination with SAS. See exceptions on SAS's website.

Where can they not fly?

• Out of Norway with Widerøe, if there is a flight change to other airlines abroad.
• Travel in combination with airlines other than SAS.

Important information:

• For safety reasons, there is a limited number of seats for children travelling alone (UM) per flight.
• The form «Children travelling alone» must be completed.
• The person accompanying/picking up the child must show valid ID, their details must match the submitted form.
• The person accompanying the child to the airport must be present until the plane has taken off. If the airport allows it, the person can accompany the child through security and to the gate.
• We do not allow children travelling alone to board the flight if there is uncertainty about landing at a destination due to weather conditions or other extraordinary circumstances.
• If the child has a medical condition that requires medication during the flight, the child must be able to take this medication themselves. The cabin crew cannot administer medication or keep passengers' medication during the flight.
• Children travelling alone cannot bring animals (neither in the cabin nor in the hold).
• We recommend checking in the child at the check-in desk at least one hour before departure.
• An additional fee per flight applies when booking assistance for children travelling alone. See the overview below.
• For international travel, we recommend that children/young people under 18 travelling alone are provided with a power of attorney from guardians, signed by the child's guardians and containing their contact information.

Infants (0-2 years) travel free domestically and receive a 90% discount on adult tickets for international travel. If the child requires their own seat on the plane, a regular child ticket must be booked, and travel with an approved child seat/car seat. For safety reasons, carry cots are not permitted.

One adult can travel with up to two children under 2 years, but this requires booking a child ticket for one of the children who must sit in a brought approved child seat/car seat.

Youth travelling with infants: First book the youth ticket. When you reach the payment page you will find a field at the bottom called "Passenger with special needs". Here you state that you are travelling with an infant.

You can bring one pram and one car seat for the infant (0-2 years) regardless of ticket type. If the ticket includes baggage (Smart/Flex/Full Flex) you may also have one checked baggage of 23 kg. What is needed for the infant during the journey, beyond baby food and nappies, is considered part of the adult's hand luggage.

For return from hospital, the child can travel with Widerøe earliest 48 hours after birth. Medical clearance from the attending doctor at the discharge hospital must be brought. The doctor is responsible for recommending early air transport.
