• Ages 5–11: Must use the Unaccompanied Minor service (free of charge) and be booked on a regular adult fare.

• Ages 12–17: May travel independently on an adult ticket, or the Unaccompanied Minor service can be purchased. Guests in this age group cannot escort another Unaccompanied Minor. Parents under 18 can accompany infants or children if they have valid ID.

Service Fees
