My sister wants to come visit me in California from Texas, I was looking for a ticket for her but it seems as though you can only buy tickets for adults. What are the policies about underage passangers?

Yes, a 16 year old can fly by herself. She can either go as an unaccompanied minor (child is escorted on and off aircraft and id is verified for person picking child up) or may travel as a regular passenger with out assistance.

Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so check with the airline to confirm specific policies. Age restrictions vary by airline. Most airlines require unaccompanied minors services for children ages 5-14, and some require it through age 17. Additional fees apply (approximately $25-100 each way) and can be paid at check-in. Some carriers require unaccompanied minors to travel on non-stop flights only. The specific flights required vary by airline, so check directly with them prior to making a reservation.

Yes they can fly by themselves, if you are not able to purchase the tickets online, contact the airline directly. They may have some specific paperwork they need filled out for minors.

Yes. I was going to fly to South Carolina last year. Continental Airlines lets 14 yr olds and up fly by themselves.
