Many airlines welcome unaccompanied minors on their flights. To ensure a safe, comfortable, and fun trip for unaccompanied minors, you should call the airline to discuss its policies and services. Here is some basic information: Younger children (typically under the age of 5) are often not eligible for unaccompanied minor service and must be accompanied on the same flight and in the same compartment by an older passenger (typically 15 years or older). Unaccompanied minor service is often mandatory for children traveling alone (approximately ages 5-14), but optional for teenagers (approximately ages 15-17). *Unaccompanied minors are required to purchase an adult fare ticket.

The ages depend on which airline they fly. A fee is usually charged at check-in for unaccompanied minor service. With unaccompanied minor service, the airline will usually want to know who is meeting the minor at the destination. Proof of identification for the receiving adult is required. Forgetting this required identification can cause unpleasant delays so make sure you know the airlines expectations. Again, please call the airline prior to purchasing tickets and inquire about their unaccompanied minor services and policies.

The name on your ticket must be an exact match with the name on the government issued photo ID/passport. If your name is misspelled on your airline ticket or reservation, please contact us ASAP at agent@mynewtrip.com.
