Flying As a Minor

“Flight Attendants, Prepare the Cabin for Departure”


Few things are as magical as being above the clouds! Whether this will be your first time flying or it is your 216th flight, flying can feel a little nerve-racking. 

Adding to the pressure is that each airline has its own unaccompanied minor policy. These policies are for young people flying without an adult. Below is a list of airlines serving airports that our adventures use. Click on the airline to learn more about their unaccompanied minor policy. While our team is always eager to help you and answer questions, we recommend contacting the airline directly if you have any questions about their policy. 

Airline policies and fees are subject to change! Please check with the airline for the most up-to-date information. Last updated on February 21, 2026.
