Minor's flight information!?
Okay... so im going to make this simple.. i need help please it is important. I am a 15 year old boy. Live in Chicago and going to Fort Worth, Texas. (most likely departing from O'Hare airport. Although Midway would be preferable for I live 5 minutes away from it) Well here are some questions i would like answered. help will be appreciated.. i am DESPERATE. 1.- So ive checked online for tickets. It asks "time for departure and return" then gives me a cost after ive chosen the flights. of $364. now is this for both the flights.. or for each (meaning to go $364 and to come $364 totaling to around $730 +bagging costs and all)?? 2.- Okay.. I am aware of the unacopanied minor services, or the normal services (meaning no chaperone and no extra costs) I will NOT choose the service, which makes me like an adult traveling i believe. and am submitted to searching and being pulled out for further information or such. now.. even if i do not choose it. Do i still need my parents or guardian to drop me off? 3.- Ofcourse.. no I.D. other than school I.D. will be available. will that work out? 4.- around what is the cost for like bags being put in the airplane? 5.- any extra info you would think reliable please

1. It will depend on how the website is configured. There are sites which would give you the total cost immediately for the roundtrip tkt but there are times when it gives you the breakdown per direction instead. Have you got to the part where it says total cost. That page will tell you the total cost for the roundtrip fare. 2 normally somebody would have to accompany you during check in. Could somebody assist you during check in? It would be better if you have somebody with you and look like a kid than miss your flight. 3. call the airline company you are travelling with and check with them what form of identification will be acceptable for the specific airport you are departing from. TSA.GOV is very helpful. http://www.tsa.gov https://contact.tsa.dhs.gov/DynaForm.aspx?FormID=60 4. Baggage....it will depend on the airline you are travelling with. Check on their site for baggage information. It is better than calling them. 5. SINCE you are a minor and travelling alone it is advisable for you to choose a non stop flight. Trust me, it will keep you out of trouble.

Look up southwest.com. They only have a policy for children traveling alone for 12 and under. So you will be okay. If you are planning on doing a round trip the fees can be different depending on the day of the week you travel. You can purchase a outgoing flight for 145 and a returning flight for more or less depending on the time and day. Also check out airtran they are the airlines that are offering great deals right now. You can go to the end and get a total of the trip including taxes without putting any information in. As for being 15 you will need your school ID to enter security, up to 15 no ID is needed. Most airlines are charging 15 for first check in bag each way. All the food aboard the plane will cost, so buy a snack at the airport for your flight. Some airlines also charge if you want to book a certain seat. These fees run anywhere from 5 -20 depending on the seat. Remember if you choose a seat you will be charged if you change it. If you give the dates you are looking for travel and the airport codes I will see what I can come up with.
