Required Documents
In order to certify the identity of a 15 year old child, a minor's identity card is required. Such a document is requested especially as certification of the minor's age or in case of travelling within the countries within European Union. The children's ID is provided by the Register of Birth Offices in the City Hall and the parents must present their identity card along with two photos of the minor. Once the parents are given the minor's identity card, they must subscribe a petition to the police station for the relative authorized to travel with the child within the European Union countries. The rules for minors travelling abroad changes according to the national laws.
Passengers should get informed about such regulations by visiting Embassies Consulates or the Police station. The Airline will not take any responsibility in case of their denied boarding for unsuitable or insufficient documentation.

Infants
Young children up to 2 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or by an adult person.
On board Meridiana fly flights every adult passenger can travel accompanying just one infant (children up to 2 years of age). Therefore, to travel with 2 infants, a second adult is required on board.

If the infant reaches 2 years of age while travelling (that is, on departure, he was less than 2 years old, on returning, he has already reached the age of 2), it will be necessary to book a seat on the flight from the date of his birthday,.
