Determining whether your child is ready to travel solo requires careful thought and an understanding of the United Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy. The policy is designed to make sure children are safe and supported throughout their journey. For children between 5 and 14 years old, the airline provides extra assistance, including dedicated staff to help with boarding, in-flight needs, and airport transitions. Understanding the specific requirements—such as the need for direct flights and authorized pick-up arrangements—helps parents make an informed decision about booking this service for their child.
