18歳が分水嶺

生まれ月によっては3月に18歳を迎える人がいて、単純確率論で12分の1以下です。その場合は少し面倒で、入国制限があるために、エアラインも親の同意書を求めるはずです。入国には英文が必要なので、結局英文のものが必要となります。

Insiders' guide to independent holidays for teenagers
With the end of GCSEs in sight, many teens are planning a first trip without parents. Our experts have suggestions and advice for independent under-18 travellers

Laws and practicalities
The laws that apply to under-18s travelling without an adult vary from country to country, so look at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website. An FCO spokesman says: "Laws and customs can differ between countries, and specific detail in these laws can change, so we advise parents of young people travelling for the first time to check with the country's embassy in the UK before booking.

For example, Spanish law defines under-18s as minors and subject to parental control or adult supervision. Any unaccompanied minors that come to the attention of the Spanish local authorities (because of, say, criminal incidents or admission to hospital) are deemed to be vulnerable under the law and face being taken into a minors' centre for their protection until their situation is resolved and a parent or suitable guardian can be found.

Flights
"It's up to the airline what its rule is on unaccompanied minors. There is no aviation legislation about this, and the minimum accepted ages vary," says James Fremantle, spokesman for the Air Transport Users' Council "Most airlines will accept those aged 15 and over, but have to supply a member of staff to accompany minors on and off the flight, and as the airline covers the cost, some low-cost airlines will not accept young passengers for that reason. Those that do, do not usually pass on a surcharge to the customer."
