passengers under 16 years of age must travel accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over

Well if you are 17 and turn 18 in October and your flight is in December …… if you can answer how old you will be when you are due to fly you’ll have your answer

Yes, but…. as you’re not the parent, make sure you carry a letter from parents saying it’s ok for him to travel.

EDIT not a ryanair thing, more a customs and immigration thing

should it have their signature?

Yes. Check the rules for the countries you are leaving from and going to. You should have all documents for your brother and some countries have official paperwork to fill to travel with a minor if you are not the parent.

Your parents should take care of this, it’s their job!

You booked, and were not sure if you could even fly? Those things have to be prepared beforehand. Just contact ryanair about your question.

Hi, I brought my nephew to Poland this summer and he is only 13. I did ask his parents to write a letter stating he was allowed to fly with me and that I would be his legal guardian for the trip.

This WAS checked when we arrived at passport control, so I strongly recommend you do the same and have it signed by your parents.

The first question is: do you know how old you are when you are flying with your brother in December?
