  • How old do you have to be to fly from South Africa to Melbourne?

    The minimum age for a child to fly alone is five, but airlines that offer an unaccompanied minor (UNMR) service may have their own age limitations.

  • What documentation or ID do you need to fly to Melbourne?

    The travel and health documents required for your trip to Melbourne can vary based on your itinerary and personal situation. As a rule, consider having multiple documents such as a national ID card or driver’s licence, and a passport valid for six-months after you plan to arrive at Melbourne. We always recommend checking with your airline or a trusted third party such as IATA to get advice.
