[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Not to summer camp, but to visit his grandparents. Be sure to check the airline's policy for unaccompanied minors. Some will charge an extra fee. I found Southwest to be very cooperative. You can get a gate pass to make sure she gets on the correct plane at this end. If she has a cell phone, she can touch base with you on the other end and relieve some anxiety.

I'm pretty sure you have to be under 12 to be considered an unaccompanied minor. A 15yo can fly alone freely. [/quote]

Any minor without the appropriate ID can fly as an unaccompanied minor.  I nannied for a very conservative family who homeschooled the kids, the 15 year old flew as unaccompanied because she didn't have a school ID, state ID or driver's license.[/quote]

This is not true.  I tried to fly my friend's just turned 13 year old daughter out to see us.  We were told that unaccompanied minor was not an option.  [/quote]

Totally depends on the airline.  Some will let you pay the unaccompanied minor fee for any one under 18, some just 12 and under, and some have no age restrictions at all.[/quote]
