Are there any extra fees and/or restrictions imposed by the airlines on teens traveling alone?
There are for teens under the age of 15. Unaccompanied minors ages 14 and under are required to sign up for the Unaccompanied Minor program. They will be in the care of an airline employee from the time that they leave their parents at the gate until they are met by a Broadreach staff member at their destination. Fees for this service generally range from $40-$90 each way and families should allow extra time for filling out required paperwork at the airport.
