Information for parents or legal guardians.
Some airlines only allow younger unaccompanied minors to take nonstop or direct flights.
Although some airlines offer discounts for kids, unaccompanied minors are usually charged the full adult ticket price. Millions of unaccompanied minors travel on the major airlines every year. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for bringing the minor to the departure gate and having an authorized parent or guardian pick the child up upon arrival. If you send an unaccompanied minor by plane, you will be required to fill out a form detailing the child's name, age, medical considerations and other relevant information. In addition, you will have to agree that the airline is not taking on any special responsibility of guardianship during the flight.
