Alone Traveling with Infants Unaccompanied Minor Policy Continental designates children from ages 5-14 as unaccompanied minors when traveling without a companion of at least 18 years of age. This could also include children ages 15 - 17 traveling alone and for whom the parent or guardian requests special supervision. These young travelers must be booked by calling our reservations offices or your local Travel Agent. Unaccompanied Minors will not be accepted for travel on the last connecting flight of the day to their final destination, or if there is any possibility of a missed connection.
Children traveling unaccompanied pay a full adult fare.
An additional service charge is collected to cover extra handling required when an unaccompanied child travels. Please confirm this charge when placing your reservation. The unaccompanied minor service charge may be paid anytime prior to departure at a Continental Airport Ticket Office or Continental Ticket Office facility. It may also be paid at the time of check-in at the airport ticket counter. In addition, Travel Agents may also collect the unaccompanied minor service charges.
