Sure I used to travel to L.A. every summer to stay with family when I was young, but that was only 45-60 minute\u00a0flight and a trip\u00a0I took many times before. We only traveled to Georgia once as a family and Munchkin was only five years old at the time.\u00a0She\u00a0had never traveled by herself and this flight would be\u00a0over five hours!\u00a0On top of that, the girl has no sense of direction. I was sure my 13-year-old\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t even find her way to the gate, let alone settle herself on a\u00a0plane and figure\u00a0her way out through baggage.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Delta has an\u00a0Unaccompanied Minors Program\u00a0that requires an flight attendant accompany\u00a0children\u00a0ages 5\u00a0to\u00a014 for the duration of the flight. There is an extra fee for this service but, in my opinion, it is completely worth it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-02.jpg\" alt=\"Understanding and How to Use the Unaccompanied Minors Program for Children Flying Alone #travel #kids\" width=\"650\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-02.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-02-292x146.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-02-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Unaccompanied Minors Program for Children Flying Alone<\/h3>\n<p>Here is a rundown of how the program works and our experience with it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>The parent or guardian is given a special pass to go\u00a0through security with the child.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe extra fee was already paid when the ticket was purchased. Frans and I just\u00a0had to check in at the airline desk to finish the process. The woman helping us was very familiar with how the Unaccompanied Minors Program worked and arranged passes so both of us could see our daughter off at the gate.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>An attendant will walk your child into the plane and seat them in the back, near the attendant area.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nWe did a direct hand-off with the attendant and waved to our little girl as she disappeared down the walkway. The parent or guardian\u00a0isn&#8217;t supposed to leave until the plane takes off so Frans and I\u00a0just hung out for a while and took photos. I\u00a0tried to call Munchkin while waiting\u00a0but she didn&#8217;t have her phone on. Ugh, we should have known something like that would happen. Parents \u2013 don&#8217;t forget to make sure your child&#8217;s phone is on and charged! If you have T-Mobile, you can get <a title=\"T-Mobile Un-Carrier 7.0 Nationwide Announcements in SF\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/t-mobile-un-carrier-7-0-sf\/\">free Wi-Fi calling and texting on flights<\/a> with Gogo. That would have been so nice.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>An attendant will walk your child out of the plane to the person pre-designated\u00a0for pickup.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nOur relative was supposed to be at the gate an hour early. The airline already had her name so she only had to show her ID to pick up Munchkin. We forgot to tell our daughter to text us when she arrived so we were frantically calling when we saw online that the plane had landed. Ugh,\u00a0sometimes\u00a0teens\u00a0can be\u00a0so clueless&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in all, everything went smoothly for us and Munchkin got to Georgia and came home without incident. She had a great time but ten days away from us was a bit too long for her. Plus, due to a hectic schedule and not enough sleep, she ended up getting a cold for the last few days. Poor thing! It will be a while before she travels by herself again but at least this was a good experience and we know what to expect for next time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-03.jpg\" alt=\"Understanding and How to Use the Unaccompanied Minors Program for Children Flying Alone #travel #kids\" width=\"650\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-03.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-03-292x172.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/unaccompanied-minor-how-to-03-585x344.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Unaccompanied Minors on Domestic and International\u00a0Flights<\/h3>\n<p>An\u00a0Unaccompanied Minors Program is available on most major airlines.
