How do we define passengers’ age categories?

Adults are usually considered the passengers ho, on their departure date, have completed their twelfth (12) year of age.

Children are usually considered the passengers who, on their departure date, have completed their second (2) year of age and are under twelve (12) years old.

Infants are usually considered the passengers who on their departure date have not completed their second (2) year of age. Infants are not entitled to a seat. If you wish a seat for the infant, you must make the reservation as if the infant was a child.

Some airlines have special age categories for people over 65 and less than 24 years old.

Attention! The age limits may differ from airline to airline depending on the policy of the respective airline.

What are the categories of classes in a plane?

According to IATA regulations, there are three classes in a plane: Economy Class, Business Class and First Class. First Class is available only in transcontinental flights. Moreover, each airline defines its cabin classes on each flight. In the last few years, some airlines have created for the transcontinental flights the premium economy class which is something between economy and business class.

Economy Class

Economy class has normal size seats, offers the fewest amenities during the flight and has the lowest allowable weight of registered luggage. The service provided, the distance between the seat lines and the weight limitations for the luggage differ from airline to airline and they define whether there is extra charge for registered luggage or not. Usually economy seats are the cheapest flight choice. Business Class

In Business Class, the passenger enjoys more amenities and wider seats which at times can be adjusted even to sleeping position. Moreover, the passenger enjoys more services and greater variety in drinks and meals compared to the economy class. Before the flight, many airlines offer separate check-in counters for better and faster service as well as specially designed holding rooms (Business Lounge) for the passengers of business class. Some airlines often offer transfer services from and towards the airport. Compared to the economy class, the allowable luggage weight is higher and the fare significantly more expensive.

Fist Class

The First Class is the most expensive and luxurious class in an aircraft. The offered services are similar to the ones offered in business class and the seats are even wider and sometimes, depending on the type of the aircraft, autonomous suites. Compared to business class, the allowable luggage weight is higher and the airport services even more luxurious.

How can I book a ticket for an unaccompanied child?

Tickets for unaccompanied children are issued exclusively either through the telephone or at the Travel Craft offices and not online. To ensure the safety of children (aged from 2 to 11 years) travelling alone, please contact our customer service department or give us a call at 2109859900 & 2109859914. The airline company may require further information and impose additional charges since every airline company has its policy regarding unaccompanied children. It is mandatory to provide the airline company with the name of the person who will be accompanying the child to the departure airport, and of the person who will be
picking up the child on arrival. It should be noted that children travelling alone are not to board on the last connecting flight of the travelling day. To avoid mistakes and omissions, you should contact our offices so that you can enjoy the best available service.

Do infants receive their own tickets? How much do they cost?

Yes, but tickets for infants are issued only when they are accompanied by an adult. The ticket fare for infants is not zero but it is significantly lower than the one for the adult. There is always a small fare charged for the infant which differs and complies with the fare booked by the adult. For example, if an adult carrying an infant books an economy class ticket, the infant fare will be lower than if the adult had booked a business class ticket.

What is the use of the “Alliance” choice?

The airline companies have formed alliances through which they offer better services to their clientele, more privileges to their members, and broader choice of operated flights making use of the companies of the alliance. For example, in case you fly an airline of the alliance and you are member of another airline of the same alliance, the bonus miles are automatically credited to your account. In other words, if you hold a
frequent flyer card you can benefit of the miles earned for travelling any airline of the alliance. Moreover, as a member of any of the alliance airlines, you can enjoy the relevant airport facilities regardless of the alliance airline you are currently flying.

What should people with disabilities and people with reduced mobility do for travelling by plane?
