Departure

UM passengers must check-in at least 45 minutes (internal flights) or 1 hour (international and transatlantic flights) before the check-in deadline for the flight in question.

When the child is checked-in at the departure airport, , he or she will receive a special UM pouch to be kept throughout the flight. The pouch contains the child's flight ticket, identity papers (identification document with photo or, for international flights, a passport or identification document plus a certificate entitling the bearer to leave the territory delivered by the prefecture), parental authorisation plus an identity form stating the details of the person responsible for collecting the child at the destination airport.

It is imperative that this person carries some form of official identification.
