Otherwise, responsibility lies with the passenger.
Since guests under the age of 18 travelling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked by police officers at country entry and exit points for a document showing the joint consent of both parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents pay particular attention to this matter.
