Unaccompanied Minor Airline Ticket Question?

Question

Anyone know anything about airline tickets for a 13 year old flying alone? We need to find the cheapest and the soonest flight available from phx az to stl mo. No stops. Wanting her to be on the plane by Sunday if possible. We have been looking but anything that soon is looking like it is going to cost over 400! Help please!

Answer 1

If you told me where she was flying it would be helpful,

i recently flew from NY to LA  last weekend and it costed about 450 including the unaccompanied fee.

if its anywhere far your gonna be looking at around a 450-500 cost, if not you should try American airlines, they charge 75$ for unaccompanied minors while most charge around 75-150 dollars.

best of luck

Answer 2

Cheapest fare in the GDS is around $591 on USAir (I assumed sunday departure and 7 day stay).  You are within the 7 day window, unless you get lucky on a last minute sale, you are not going to do much better than that.

That does not include a mandatory UM charge of $100 each way.
