Onboard
On all of our flights, children enjoy games, films, music programs, and gifts to ensure their entertainment and enjoyment.
On all flights of 2 ½ hours or more, children receive a meal adapted to their tastes and needs. In addition, meat or fish is pre-sliced for an easy-to-eat meal! Beginning at 9 years of age, children will be served "like grown-ups". But they may still opt for the children's menu if they wish. Remember to request the children's menu when booking your trip, purchasing your flight, or at least 24 hours before departure.

Connections and arrival
Children receive assistance when they make connections. If a layover lasts more than 2 hours, they will be welcomed in the Air France UM (Unaccompanied Minor) areas at the Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports. These areas are designed so that everyone may find the entertainment they like best: rest, reading, video games (PlayStation 3), cartoons, board games, foosball (table soccer), and more. Adolescents traveling alone may also take advantage of these areas.
Upon arrival, your child is guided to the individual(s) whom you have designated for pick-up.
