Children between the ages of 5 and 11 are allowed to fly alone, according to Emirates unaccompanied minor rules. This clause also applies to children who are traveling in a different cabin class from their parent or legal guardian. Unaccompanied minors in this age range receive specialized attention. For children traveling alone, the parent or legal guardian is responsible for helping to complete the check-in request.

Emirates Airlines allows children between the ages of 5 and 11 to fly alone as long as they are dressed appropriately for an adult's admission. According to Emirates Unaccompanied Minor guidelines, children who are traveling in a different hotel category than their parent or legal guardian are also eligible for help. The possibility that the minors are being accompanied by a parent or other adult who is at least 16 years old would be viewed in their favor. Participants in the Emirates programme for young people flying alone must be between the ages of 12 and 17 and must submit a specific request.
