Airline rules vary, but here's a good idea of what to expect on domestic flights:
Children ages 1 - 4 may fly only when accompanied by an adult. A child must be at least 5 to fly alone.
Kids ages 5 - 7 can take a direct flight to a single destination but not connecting flights.
Those 8 and up may change aircraft on some airlines. If they're between 8 and 11, they will be escorted by airline personnel to their connecting flight. Older kids -- age 12 and up -- may not be routinely escorted, but you can request this assistance as long as you pay the applicable fee.
Minors must be met at their destination by another parent or responsible adult.
Anyone under the age of 17 who is flying alone on an international flight must have a signed letter of consent from a parent or responsible adult giving permission, destination and length of stay.
As these guidelines vary slightly by airline, be sure to contact your carrier for specific information.
