United Airlines charges a fee

United Airlines charges a fee for unaccompanied minors travelling alone to ensure their safety and provide additional assistance throughout the journey. The cost pays for the airline's committed personnel and equipment to watch over and assist young passengers throughout boarding, check-in, and during flight. The price varies according to the specifics of the flight, including the distance and whether it's a connecting or nonstop flight. For their child's travel to be safe and easy, parents or guardians should find out the exact cost for their child's trip and become familiar with the airline's unaccompanied minor policy.
