A child who is traveling without the accompaniment of an adult over the age of 18 years is considered by the airlines as an unaccompanied minor.

Each airline carries its own restrictions for unaccompanied minor travel. You should always check directly with the carrier to learn their specific rules and regulations.

In general, airlines have age restrictions (children under 5 years cannot fly alone, children up to 18 can be considered unaccompanied minors (depending on the carrier, the age can vary from 14 through 18 years.), charge a fee of $25 to $100 per flight segment (paid at the time of check-in), and only permit the use of non-stop or direct flights (those which stop but don't require a change of planes).

Unaccompanied minor reservations cannot be booked on our site. Unaccompanied minor bookings must be made directly with the airline on which the child will fly.
