Does a person under 18 need identification to go on an airplane?

Question

I'm planning a trip for me and my sister who is 16. She doesn't drive or have a government issued id. We are traveling from California to New York. Does she have to have one even though she is a minor? Also, if you have the answer to this question, can you send me the source so I can document it? Thanks.

Answer 1

she can be bagaged claimed from you...but when u get the tickets they will ask for proof of who she really is so she will need something like a passport or something

Answer 2

It is not required by the TSA, but check with the airports that you will be going through.
