You can fly at any age and get assistance but the reason for people booking at a travel agents flying at 18 is because they have to be 18 to book an hotel.

In most cases, anyone over the age of 5 can fly, however airlines require the use of an Unaccompanied Minor service up to certain ages, which vary by airlines. Southwest is 12 I think, and most of the others require 15 or higher to skip this service. There are also restrictions on which flights UMs can fly, again this varies by airline, some require only non stop flights, others do not allow last flight of the day.

The minimum age you can fly without your family is 5 but it has to be a direct flight and you have to have staff accompany you (obviously). Once your 6 you can fly with someone who is over 16. That can be a member of family, guardian or appointed person. You MUST be accompanied by a air hostess or a member of staff if your in 18 but as soon as your 18 your on your own :)

You can go on a plane much younger than that. You can travel alone from like 5 but they tend to have an air hostess to escort you. Once your about 12/13 you dont need anyone though. Your good to travel on your own but make sure you know what your doing!

Me and my friends flew to greece on our own for a holiday and we were only 16/17

You can fly by yourself without being accompanied from 14. Under 14yrs you have to fly as solo and be accompanied to plane by escourt. Once on the plane you are sat in a special area, and looked after by cabin crew. At the other end some one picks you up and stays with you till your collected.
