UNACCOMPANIED MINOR TRAVEL

“Flight Attendants, Prepare the Cabin for Departure”


Few things feel as magical as being above the clouds. Few things make parents check an airline website 14 times quite like sending a teen on a flight.

Each airline has its own unaccompanied minor policy, including age rules, fees, flight restrictions, and paperwork requirements. This page gathers links and basic information for airlines serving airports used by Bridgeford Adventures.

We are happy to help families think through travel plans, but airline policy questions should always be confirmed directly with the airline before booking.

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

Before You Book.

Before booking a flight, families should confirm:

  • Whether the airline requires or offers unaccompanied minor service for your teen’s age
  • Whether the flight must be nonstop
  • Any airline fees or paperwork requirements
  • The correct arrival and departure windows and airports for your specific adventure provided to you by our office after enrollment.
