United Airlines Minor Travel Policy

1. United Airlines Minor Travel Policy

2. According to United Airlines minor travel policy, if there are two or more children travelling together on the same reservation, the youngest child's age determines whether the minors need to use the airline's unaccompanied minor service. Children under the age of five must be accompanied by an adult passenger who is at least 18 years old. The younger traveller is still taken into account for United unaccompanied minor fees even if they are 5 to 14 years old and the older traveller is 15 to 17. Make sure to book both flights on the same reservation if a 15–17-year-old chooses the unaccompanied minor service and is travelling with another child to ensure that the combined United Airlines unaccompanied minor fee is applied.

3. What are the documents required for minors while travelling on United Airlines? According to United Airlines unaccompanied minor policy, children between the ages of 5 and 14 who are flying alone are not required to present identification at check-in but are advised to bring identification with them. • Driver’s license • Passport • School ID • Employee ID • Library card • Credit card • Birth certificate • Social security card • Proof of auto insurance under the minor’s name.
