About Minors
Tickets for minors can be classified as adults, children or infants depending on the specific airline’s fare rules. We ask for ages of travelers between ages 2 and 17 in order to find the best prices for your trip. We will alert you if we find a special deal for a child or youth traveler while searching over 400 airlines. Please remember that special fares are not available in all markets, or on all flights.
Unaccompanied Minors
You must contact the airline directly to purchase a ticket for an unaccompanied minor. Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so please check with the airline to confirm specific policies. Age restrictions vary by airline. In general, children under the age of 5 may never travel alone. 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. For security reasons, most airlines do not allow unaccompanied minors to travel on the last connecting flight of the day. 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.
