At the airport of departure:
On the day of the departure, we recommend you present your child at the check-in counter 3 hours before flight departure. Once checked-in, a « Tiare Kids » personal pocket containing documents necessary for his/her journey will be given to the unaccompanied minor. The check-in agent will then provide a meeting time and place from which our staff will greet and escort your child to the aircraft.
Your child is travelling in :
- Poerava business, he has access to the business check-in lane at our counters and to the priority handling of baggage for quick delivery. After check in your child must meet our staff at the UM (unaccompanied minor) meeting point. Business class lounge will not be accessible.

Aboard our aircraft, Air Tahiti Nui staff will ensure your child is safe and assisted at all times during the flight.
Onboard your child will be able to enjoy films, cartoons, games, radio programs for children. To assure their safety, seats are specially assigned onboard for unaccompanied minors so they can be supervised during the flight.

During the stopover in Los Angeles while transiting for Paris, our staff will provide continuous supervision to the unaccompanied minor. The same will apply when a parent is travelling in business class.

A member of Air Tahiti Nui staff will accompany the minor through the arrivals process and collect baggage before the hand over to the person designated for pick-up.

In case of delays / cancellations
In the event of a flight delay or cancellation, the unaccompanied minor receives priority care and attention from us. An Air tahiti Nui staff member remains present with the unaccompanied minor at all times.
If a delay or cancellation requires overnight supervision of a child, a female Air Tahiti Nui staff member will look after your child at all times.
If you have reserved a seat for your infant, he/she receives the same baggage allowance as an adult. If your infant is traveling on your lap, his/her allowance will be a hold baggage item weighing up to 10 kg and a cabin a hand baggage item up to 3 kg.
Traveling with a stroller, car seat, basket
Because your comfort is our priority when you travel with an infant or with a child of less than 7 years, in addition to your applicable allowance, you can check-in in hold for free a stroller or a car seat or a basket per infant or child.
