Unaccompanied Minor Flight - Children Flying Alone
According to the policy of various airlines, a child who is 6 - 17 years of age and is traveling alone without a guardian is considered an unaccompanied minor or child flying alone. You can pay a fee to many airlines to have your child registered as an unaccompanied minor so they can fly without an adult. In return for that fee, the airline provides the child some additional supervision, assistance getting on and off the plane, escort to any connections, and assistance in the event of irregular operations. Typically, a parent or guardian will complete the paperwork and obtain the boarding pass at the check-in desk, obtain a gate pass, escort the child through security and then wait at the child’s gate until their plane is in the air. On the other end, at arrival, a designated adult will go through roughly the same process and be waiting at the gate when the plane arrives.
