Description: The Southwest Airlines Unaccompanied Minor Policy is designed to ensure that young travelers between ages 5 and 11 can fly safely without a guardian. This policy provides a structured system where airline staff supervise minors at every stage of their journey. From check-in to boarding and through arrival, the child receives personalized assistance to keep them comfortable and protected. Parents must complete required documentation at the airport, including emergency contacts and pickup details. Only nonstop and direct flights are allowed for minors under this program, which helps minimize travel complications. A designated adult must accompany the child to the gate and remain until the flight departs. At the destination, the child is released only to the pre-approved adult who must present valid identification. This detailed and attentive process makes Southwest a trusted choice for parents sending their children on solo flights.
