[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's American, you have to provide the birth certificate at the gate:

At check-in, parents / guardians will also need to provide:

A birth certificate or passport as proof of the child’s age
The adult’s government-issued photo ID with their current address
Your phone number so we can contact you
The name, address and phone number of the adult meeting your child at their destination

Agreed, the way that page is listed, this is required for ALL children under 17 traveling by themselves.  Kids 15-17 don't have to pay for the "unaccompanied service", but still have to show documentation, and an adult has to accompany them to the gate, and have a nominated adult to pick them up at the other end.  The adult picking up should arrive around 30 minutes before arrival- they have to go to the ticketing desk to get a pass to get through security to meet at the gate.

OP, I think the birth certificate requirement will get you and you will have to pay the fee.  Of course its exorbitant, but that's just the way it is.  Tough to swallow as an extra frustration under trying circumstances, I am sure.[/quote]
