Answer #5

Each airline sets its own rules on unaccompanied children. But all require parents or guardians to fill out a form authorizing who may pick them up at their destination. And that person must show identification. Most airlines charge a fee of about $30 each way for unaccompanied children, on top of the ticket.

Generally, 5- to 7-year-olds can travel unaccompanied on non-stop or direct flights and 8- to 11-year-olds can travel alone on connecting flights; airline staff escort them between flights and to the people picking them up. Children 12 and up are treated as adults, although on request some airlines will provide an escort for teens.

Other transportation services, such as Greyhound and Amtrak, also take unaccompanied children.
