Airlines' service issues with unaccompanied minors unnerve parents123RF Allow time for the unaccompanied minor to board first, meet the flight crew and feel comfortable about the process. The same word could be used to describe several recent high-profile incidents involving unaccompanied minors. On U.S. carriers, however, the most noticeable change has been the increase in unaccompanied minor fees and restrictions. Late last year, United Airlines began requiring all unaccompanied minors between the ages of 5 and 15 to use the airline's $150-per-flight escort program. Eastern Airlines didn't charge us extra for being unaccompanied minors (my parents would have complained loudly if they had) and neither of us were tagged with wristbands.
