>> Not to split hairs, but telling the airline they are an "unaccompanied minor" could cost you an additional $100 per child, per departure (on United.) If they are older and you aren't hiring the flight attendant as a babysitter, you can specify they are a "minor traveling alone" in order to get a gate pass.
And yes you may check in at any terminal. I've just found its easier to go through C for customer service and security.
@Mahm: Good point. Â That's not splitting hairs at all. Â That used to add $200 round trip before my daughter turned 12.
@ForeCPA90:
I paid a ton of UM fees in the past too. I was so relieved when she was old enough to look out for herself. If it were just the 13 year old flying alone for the first time, I would say its worth it for peace of mind. But with her 16 year old sister, I think they'll both be fine. 4951
