Jetstar unaccompanied minor age requirement

Document requirement for unaccompanied minors Jetstar

Minors who are enrolled in or attending secondary school can fly alone on any Jetstar (JQ) flight. Jetstar needs confirmation at check-in showing the youngster is either enrolled in or attending secondary school.

Documents required to prove secondary school attendance or proof of being 12 years old are:

• A secondary school ID card (from a previous year and possibly expired) or
