Can a 17 year old buy a plane ticket?

Question

Can a 17 year old buy a plain ticket without a parent there if they are flying within the United States?

Answer 1

If you have the credit card you certainly can.  I doubt if you would get much static on a cash transaction for that matter and you could always have a travel agent get it for you.  But hop on line and order up.  they do not ask for ID when you pay for your ticket and as long as you are confident, you will not be bothered in the airport.  You can do Pre check in on line and never really have to talk to anyone other than security.  and they will only be looking in your bags.  not at your ID.

Here are some rules about underage flying.

Airline rules for Children

But there are many others.  Here is a quote.

You must contact the airline directly before purchasing a ticket for an unaccompanied minor.

Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so please check with the airline to confirm specific policies.

Age restrictions vary by airline. In general, children under the age of 5 may never travel alone.

Most airlines require unaccompanied minors services for children ages 5-14, and some even require it up through age 17.

Additional fees apply (approximately $25 - $90 each way) and can be paid at check-in.

For security reasons, most airlines do not allow unaccompanied minors to travel on the last connecting flight of the day.

The specific flights which may be allowed vary by airline, so check directly with them prior to making a reservation.

Answer 3

Yes you can, as long as you can pay for it.

Just be sure you have any form of identification. Any government issued picture identification is best, but if you don't have it, a government document without pic with another picture i.d. not issued by the government would suffice for you to be able to check yourself in and go through security.  2 years old to 12 are the ones considered to pay unaccompanied minor's fee. You don't need to pay for that. Just the regular airfare.
