Young children traveling without a parent or legal guardian are considered to be Unaccompanied Minors. Most airlines provide a service to assist these children from their point of departure to their final destination.

Southwest Airlines Children Flying Alone Policy

Unaccompanied Minor Service is mandatory for children ages 5-11 traveling without an adult by Southwest Airlines. Children under 5 years of age are not allowed to travel unless accompanied by an adult who is at least 12 years old.

Southwest Airlines charges $50 each way for each Unaccompanied Minor and the Unaccompanied Minors are only allowed on non-stop or direct flights that do not require a change of aircraft.

All airlines reserve the right to request documented proof of age of any child.
