The typical unaccompanied-minor age band
The typical unaccompanied-minor window runs 5–14 — under 5 most carriers require an adult, and at 15+ the traveler flies as an adult with optional assistance. Each carrier sets its own exact band and its own cutoffs, so the agent confirms the range that applies to your child on your airline. The age check happens before pricing, because it decides whether the service is required or optional. One call to 1-844-595-2859 settles the age question first.
Carrier rules that vary by airline
Carrier rules differ on direct flights, connections, and escort hand-offs — some airlines restrict unaccompanied minors to nonstops, others allow connections. The agent checks the routing the airline will actually accept and quotes itineraries that pass the policy. Rules also cover who meets the child at each end, and the desk matches the booking to those requirements rather than risking a denied check-in. The booking window matters too — a hold keeps options open on our hold a flight reservation by phone page.
Forms and meet-and-greet coordination
Unaccompanied-minor travel runs on forms: a signed guardian form, contact details at both ends, and the escort hand-off the airline requires. The agent completes the paperwork with you on the call and emails the forms and the check-in steps before you hang up. Meet-and-greet service coordinates with the carrier so the child is escorted to the gate and released to the right adult at arrival. Medical and assistance requests ride the same coordination on our medical travel flights booking and assistance by phone page.
Booking the itinerary and what to have ready
4 items open the booking: the child's date of birth, the guardians at both ends, the route, and the travel dates. The agent prices the itinerary, applies the unaccompanied-minor service where the airline requires it, and reads the total before any charge. Siblings and family traveling together book through our group flight booking by phone page, and rapid departures follow the same path as our last-minute flights by phone page.
