If children over 12 years old want to go to Japan alone, whether they can purchase their own tickets depends on the specific regulations of the airline. Under normal circumstances, most domestic airlines require minors under the age of 18 to provide the contact information of their legal guardian when purchasing tickets, and may require the guardian to sign a consent form. The specific operations are as follows:
Contact the airline: First, you need to consult the regulations of the selected airline to understand whether children under 12 years old are allowed to purchase tickets independently and whether additional documents are required.
Guardian Consent: If allowed by the airline, the guardian needs to sign a consent form expressing consent for the child to travel independently.
Ticket Purchase Information: When purchasing tickets, you need to provide your child’s personal information, including name, date of birth, passport number, etc.
Travel Plan: You may need to provide a detailed travel plan, including itinerary, accommodation information, etc.
Emergency Contact: Emergency contact information is required so that the guardian can be contacted in an emergency.
Therefore, although children over 12 years old can purchase their own tickets, they need to comply with the relevant regulations of the airline and obtain the consent and support of their guardians.
