How are the arrangements made or a minor to travel by plane alone?

Question

How young is too young for a child to travel alone?

Answer 1

You must call the airline before purchasing the ticket. Some airlines consider any child under 15 to be a minor, others 13. If the child is not accompanied by an adult, there is a fee of $50.00 or $60.00 for the unaccompanied minor. You must provide information on who will recieve the child at the destination. That person must show proper identification to recieve the child at the destination. A flight attendent is responsible for the child on the plane and during any layovers. Most airlines will not accept a child under 6 if travelling alone. But DO call before purchasing the ticket or you could have big problems at the airport.

Answer 2

Being a flight attendant, I've had many many unaccompanied minors. I've never had a problem with them before, except for a set of twins about 8 years old. If you're child is young but can behave, there shouldn't be a problem. If they are mischevious and getting into trouble a lot, then I would wait for them to be a little older. To be honest with you, children do get lost and do get misplaced while flying alone. They are a top prioritiy but as you know, you can't trust everyone. If you think you're child could find their way to the appropriate adult if the are misplaced, then I wouldn't be worried.

Answer 3

I would say below 7 years old. I am under 18 and I will be traveling to Germany this summer by myself unaccompanied, sometimes the airlines require you though to pay the unaccompanied minor fee if they are under a certain age, it depends on the airline. Call your airline or your travel agent and they will work it all out with you or for you.

Answer 4

All airlines enable all childrens 15 and over to shuttle as adults. the subject is, motels do not enable human beings under 18 to get a room. Your mom and dad would desire to be certain a answer, or one desires to flow with you.

Answer 5

When I was younger I travled alone. Don't worry he or she will be ok. A Flight attendant will be with them until someone at the Arrival airport picks them up
