What are the rules on unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone?
Most airlines allow unaccompanied children at or above a certain age to fly, though usually with several restrictions. Programs vary widely from airline to airline, and no two airlines will have the same polices, which is why we suggest making direct reservations with the airline for unaccompanied minors. In the U.S., there are no clear regulatory guidelines with respect to unaccompanied children, so it is important that you take the time to understand the specific policies of the airline by visiting their website or calling them.
Airlines have specific rules regarding unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone. Therefore we recommend that you contact the airline directly regarding their specific rules on unaccompanied minors/children traveling alone.
