Can I buy a ticket for an unaccompanied minor?
You must contact the airline directly before purchasing a ticket for an unaccompanied minor.
Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so please check with the airline to confirm specific policies.
Age restrictions vary by airline. In general, children under the age of 5 may never travel alone.
Most airlines require unaccompanied minors services for children ages 5-14, and some even require it up through age 17.
Additional fees apply (approximately $25 - $90 each way) and can be paid at check-in.
For security reasons, most airlines do not allow unaccompanied minors to travel on the last connecting flight of the day.
The specific flights which may be allowed vary by airline, so check directly with them prior to making a reservation.
