"You must be a non-disabled adult in full fitness and able to understand printed and verbal instructions given in English."

Are 12+ year-olds considered adults in the UK, or what explains the inconsistency?

I am about to pick exit row for a 16-year-old accompanying me (way older than 16). Am I going to run into trouble with that?
the UK has many gates to adulthood and 12 yo is not one of them. I’d suggest that the final three clauses are key. If your 16 yo companion is fit enough to throw the door, can understand english and has a solid head on their shoulders then all is good.
