When your child is flying
unaccompanied
 在美國，每年會有上萬的孩子單獨坐飛機飛到目的地。為了確保孩子的安全和讓家長少擔(dān)些心，很多機場開通了不用家長陪同的乘機旅程。The
purpose of this publication is to guide parents and their children in a way that
will help prevent negative experiences and help ensure the child's safe and
carefree journey from start to finish. Appropriate planning with the airline and
your child is the best "in-flight insurance" against any unpleasant travel
experiences. To assist you in this process, it helps to know that there are some
consistencies among domestic air carriers.
For instance, "unaccompanied
minor" is the term airlines use to refer to children younger than the age of 18
who are not traveling with an adult. All airlines require a child to be at least
5 years of age to fly unaccompanied. If the flight is not a direct one, some
airlines will not allow a child younger than the age of 8 to fly unaccompanied.
If the child has a direct flight, an escort fee may not be required. Airlines
normally charge from $30-$60 to escort an unaccompanied minor to connecting
flights. If two or more children are traveling together, most airlines will not
charge an additional escort fee. And most airlines allow children 12 years of
age or older to fly unaccompanied.
