Requirements for Children
We follow the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) guidelines, and it is required for all individuals, including children, to provide a valid passport when travelling between Bermuda and the U.S.
Country-Specific Requirements
Some destinations have their own entry rules for children. Please check the requirements for your destination below before you travel.
Belize
If you're travelling to Belize with a child under 18 and both parents or legal guardians aren't travelling with them, you'll need extra documents.
  • One parent or guardian travelling alone with a child: You must carry a notarised letter of consent from the other parent or guardian who isn't travelling. It gives permission for the child to travel to Belize.
  • Parent or guardian with sole custody: You must carry the legal document that confirms sole custody, such as a court order.
Please bring the original documents with you and have them ready to show at check-in and on arrival in Belize. If you don't have the right documents, you may be refused boarding or entry.

We recommend checking the latest entry requirements with the Belize immigration authorities before you travel.
Required Documentation
  • Valid Passport: Required for the minor and the accompanying adult for all air travel. Make sure it has sufficient validity. Specifically, it must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry or departure.
  • Birth Certificate: A copy or original of the minor’s birth certificate showing who the legal parents are.
  • Notarized Travel Consent Letter: A signed letter from the non-traveling parent (or both parents, if applicable) explicitly authorizing the minor to travel outside the country with the accompanying adult. This letter should be notarized by a notary public. Including a copy of the non-traveling parent's ID or passport is also recommended.
  • Supporting Legal / Custody Documents:
    • Custody Decree or Adoption Papers: If you have sole legal custody of the child.
    • Death Certificate: If one or both of the child's parents are deceased.
Lap Children
BermudAir accepts lap children. Infants must be a minimum of 7 days old to travel. From 8 days until their second birthday, infants must be secured by means of a seatbelt which will be provided to you when you board the aircraft.
Allowing Strollers and Car Seats
Guests travelling with children under the age of 5 can bring up to two pieces of child equipment, free of charge:
  • Stroller and/or car seat or booster
  • Travel cot (all in hold only)
Additional pieces will be charged at a tax-included cost of US$100 (CA$135) per item, subject to capacity. Items must be checked planeside and retrieved upon deplaning.
Unaccompanied Minors
Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to carry unaccompanied minors on BermudAir. The minimum age for unaccompanied travel is 15 years.
Young Travellers
Passengers aged between 15–17 years are eligible for unaccompanied travel without restrictions. Bookings for Young Persons must be made exclusively through the Customer Call Centre.

Please note that in the event of flight disruptions, the parent or legal guardian of the Young Person will be held responsible for making any necessary arrangements beyond the scope of the airline.
