Description

Sending your child on a flight alone can feel overwhelming, but the major U.S. airlines each have their own unaccompanied minor programs designed to help. In this Midweek Mini episode, we break down the basics from American, Delta, Alaska, Southwest, and United so you’ll know what to expect when it comes to age requirements, fees, and policies.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child can fly solo — and how much it’ll cost — this mini-episode will give you the confidence to plan that trip.
