Which age category is an unaccompanied minor travel for?

• A. 5-13
• B. 4-12
• C. 8-15
• D. 2-6

Answer: (A)

Unaccompanied minor travel is the service for children who are traveling alone and need airline staff to assist them from check-in through arrival. The age range defined for this program is five through thirteen. This inclusive span ensures younger children (under five) typically cannot travel alone and older children (beyond thirteen) usually don’t require or qualify for the dedicated UM service. So a child between five and thirteen qualifies for the program, with procedures like escort to the gate, hand-off to a designated guardian, and necessary guardian contact information. The other proposed ranges don’t align with this policy because they either exclude younger children who often still require supervision or include ages where the airline would not offer the unaccompanied minor service.
