We do not sell air tickets for unaccompanied minor air travel. You must contact the airline directly. Each airline has its own policy for unaccompanied minor travel. The minimum age at which a minor child may travel alone varies by airline and by whether it is a non stop flight or one with connections. There is an additional airline fee payable at the airport (it varies by airline and as to whether it is a non stop flight or has connections). The minor cannot travel on the last flight of the day. You must provide specific information on the person picking up the minor at the destination (fill out a form at the airport).  more

You should check with your airline on the details of their rules and policies regarding unaccompanied minors aboard flights. Generally, airlines will have a special service specifically for unaccompanied minors within a certain age range (typically 5-12). This service may cost a fee.

Find out if your airline has any restrictions for youth traveling alone. Many will limit unaccompanied minors to non-stop flights and require earlier check-in. You should also provide the airline with emergency contacts of adults in case the flight is diverted or delayed. Most airlines will also require that the adult picking up the child at his or her arrival airport must carry photo ID.

These rules and regulations will typically differ among airlines, so the best course of action is to carefully peruse your airline's website for a thorough understanding of their unaccompanied minors policy. You should also speak to a customer service representative on the phone beforehand for further details regarding your specific case.
