Traveling with Infants‚ Children‚ and Minors

The safety of minors is of paramount importance to SANSA Airlines. For this reason‚ specific requirements have been established for the transportation of infants‚ children‚ and adolescents.

Infants (0 to 24 months)

An infant is defined as any child who has not yet reached twenty-four (24) months of age at the time of travel.

Infants may travel by paying the corresponding fare established by the airline‚ equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the regular adult fare. This fare does not include a separate seat or baggage allowance.

Infants must travel:

• In the arms of their father‚ mother‚ or legal guardian.
• In the arms of an authorized responsible adult.
• Throughout all phases of the flight and in accordance with the crew’s instructions.

For safety reasons‚ only one (1) infant is permitted per adult passenger.

Infants Under Seven Days Old

Infants under seven (7) days old will not be accepted for travel unless they present a valid medical certificate that expressly states that the infant is fit to travel by air.

The airline may verify the authenticity of such a document and reject any certificate that is incomplete‚ illegible‚ or of dubious origin.

Children (ages 2 to 12)

Any child who has reached the age of two (2) must occupy a separate seat and have a ticket issued at the applicable fare.

Children must meet the same identification and documentation requirements as any other passenger‚ in addition to the specific regulations applicable to minors.

Minors (Under 18 Years of Age)

All passengers under eighteen (18) years of age must present valid‚ current official identification at the time of travel.

Costa Rican Minors

Costa Rican minors must present one of the following documents:

• Minor’s Identity Card (TIM).
• A valid Costa Rican passport.
• A birth certificate or certification issued by the competent authorities of Costa Rica‚ when applicable.

Travel with Parents‚ Guardians‚ or Responsible Adults

Minors must travel accompanied by:

• Their father or mother.
• Their legal representative.
• An adult expressly authorized for that purpose.

When a minor is not traveling accompanied by a parent or legal guardian‚ it is mandatory to present a written authorization‚ signed by the father‚ mother‚ or legal guardian‚ expressly authorizing the minor’s travel.

The authorization must clearly state:

• The minor’s full name.
• The full name of the accompanying adult.
• Identification numbers of the parties involved.
• Date of travel.
• Destination.
• Signature of the person granting the authorization.

In addition‚ a legible and valid copy of the identification document of the parent or legal guardian signing the authorization must be attached. SANSA Airlines may request additional documentation when it deems necessary to verify the legitimacy of the authorization submitted and ensure the minor’s protection.

Responsibility for Documentation

It is the sole responsibility of the parents‚ legal guardians‚ or responsible adults to ensure that the minor meets all applicable documentation‚ immigration‚ and legal requirements prior to the date of travel.

Failure to provide the required documentation may result in denial of boarding‚ and SANSA Airlines shall not be held liable.
