Hi, I’m 17 & I’m planning to fly with delta next month. When I arrive at the airport by myself, all I will need to bring is my plane ticket & government issued ID & I’ll be able to fly & go through the entire process alone?
Delta will allow you to fly as a standard passenger alone as a 17 year old as long you have your government issued ID and your boarding pass. You will be able to go through the security process alone as well.
Could a government issued id be a passport? I'm planning on buying my own plane ticket to Paris I'm coming from the US
@@BenDreamVacationswhat if im 16 is it the same?
@@Josh52218 Yes, as long as you have a government issued photo ID you can travel within the US
@@BenDreamVacations thanks a lot
Hi! im flying internationally this december to Africa with Lufthansa airline, do i need any form of parental consent to purchase the ticket, I was on the website and it lets me purchase it as a minor but i dont want to be turned away once im at the airport plz help!
You don't need parental consent to purchase a ticket. As long as you have a valid passport Lufthansa will let you fly internationally as long as you are over 12 which I assume you are. The issue will be if the country you are flying into in Africa will allow you to enter as a minor. You may need a notarized letter of parental consent from your parents to be able to enter. The best way to know would be to contact your home country's embassy or consulate located in the African country you are going to and ask about the entry requirements for minors.
Do you know any third pay site allow children 16 to book for their flight. If not, can I book as giving the fake information of fake year of born?
Not that I know of. All of the U.S. airlines restrict anyone under 18 from booking a flight on their own. You can’t give fake information either because your Id has to match your date of birth that you listed.
Hi im 15 i will be flying alone in 8 more days is a learners permit count as a government issued id plus im flying American Airlines
Yes, as long as the learner's permit has your photo on it, it will count as a government issued ID.
Hey how's it going does Turkish Airlines allow after 16th birthday to fly with 19 year old brother or alone without parents consent letter notarised as they considered adults?
You would be allowed to fly with your 19 year old brother or if you want to fly alone you will probably need a parent consent letter if you do not have your own ID
@@BenDreamVacations Alright thanks so if I have my own ID i won't need my parents consent?
@@zan_highlights I believe so but you might want to double check with them to make sure.
Hi, I’m seventeen and I’m planning to fly with jet blue during jun of this year. When I arrive at the airport all I need is my passport or valid id and boarding pass to get through TSA. I don’t want to be turned back.
Correct, a passport or valid ID is all you need to get through TSA. You no longer need to show your boarding pass to TSA.
what if you don't have an id and I'm 16 I looked it up it says I don't need one ?
You don't need an ID if you are flying with someone who is 18 years or older. Otherwise, if you are flying by yourself you will need an ID
If i am traveling to mexico from the USA and im 17 would i need my parents?
Yes, you will need to travel with your parents or have a notarized letter from your parents authorizing you to travel alone without them.
If I'm 16, and i have a passport do i have to go to the airport whit a parent,or could i just fly as a normal passenger and go by myself.
With a passport you can just fly as a normal passenger by yourself unless you are flying out of the country in which case you will most likely need parental consent
Hey I got a question I am flying to Mumbai india next month I wanted to fly on the emirates a380 so I have to go from Houston tx to newyork to dubai and then Mumbai india , I was just wondering do I need to recheck my luggage after I land in New York?
It will depend. If you booked the flights separately then will most likely need to recheck you luggage. I have a video that answers this question in detail. You can check it out here 👉 ruclips.net/video/xwzpU4cjb5I/видео.html.
Sooo...can a 17yr old uber to the airport & chk in himself??...or do you need an adult for chk in??
It depends on the airline. Some airlines have restrictions for 17 year olds and others don’t.
@@BenDreamVacationswhich ones allow us to book and check in without parent permission
Wait so can you use a school id or even your SSN?
Can't use a school id or your ssn. You need a driver's license or passport.
Actually my mom lives in india and my father lives in italy and i have to travel india to italy so did i need my mom and father consent different means one concent form and one from father if yes tell me what should be written in it
You will need to check with the airline you will be flying on to see what is required.
Does the parent of the person need to book the flight or can it be another adult, can u use a permit as a form of id, and how do u book for a 16 year old on an airline website.
You can use a driver's permit as a form of ID. If you are going to using that then you can book your own flight on the airline's website as a normal passenger.
i'll be flying with my 17 year old sister to Japan and Korea, im 33. i will get a consent form from our parents, but any idea if it needs to be notarized?
Yes, it will need to be notarized.
if im flying alone for the first time as a 17 year old and I'm not doing the service, do I still need someone to wait for me at my destination? (I will be flying with frontier, if that helps)
I also dont have any ID, i don't need one right?
You are going to need an ID if you are not going to be using the unaccompanied minor service and will be flying alone.
what airlines can u book at the age of 17 by yourself without someone having to book the ticket for u that’s 18?
You can book a flight as a 17 year old but you need a way to be able to pay for the flight either by debit or credit card. If you do not have access or authorization to use either of those then there is no other way that you can purchase a flight without someone over 18.
@@BenDreamVacations My dad is being so petty he said if I could buy my own ticket then I could go ahead and do it but he won't do it for me but I have the money and everything and I was also thinking I could make a fake letter as if he did it do you think that would work?
@@dianashiesty3960 if you have a driver’s license or State ID you can book your own flight as long as it’s within the country.
@@BenDreamVacations what do you mean within the country ? Like only in the US? Because I'm trying to go to Paris I'm currently in the USA!! But the good part is he might book it for me so what does a parent letter should look like? How would he write it down
@@dianashiesty3960 If you will be traveling out of the country then not only will you need a passport but both of your parents will need to sign a consent form for you to travel out of the country by yourself. So if your mom is still around she will need to sign it too unless your dad has sole custody of you. There are plenty of free examples on the internet of letters of consent to travel abroad that you can use to draft a consent letter. The letter will need to be notarized. Here is a good resource to use www.notarize.com/blog/how-to-get-a-notarized-minor-travel-consent-form
I am flying domestically with my 15 year old sister in a few months (I’m 25) will she need any form of id or a consent letter form from our parents since I’m not her legal guardian?
It depends on the airline. Which airline are you flying on?
Can your social security or high school id work if you are 17 and flying alone?
Unfortunately no. You will need to have a government photo id like a state id, driver’s license or even a driver’s permit. Otherwise, you will need to travel as an unaccompanied minor to be able to travel alone.
Question: say needed a car when i go to CO is there a way for as a 17 year old to get a car to drive? I have my license
You won't be able to as a 17 year old. Most states require you to be at least 21 to rent a car. I think New York and Michigan are the only states where you can rent a car at age 18.
@@BenDreamVacations this country limits like a mf 😂, old enough to sign my life to the army
I agree. Makes no sense
How does it work. Like can I have my OWN account (delta) and buy the ticket myself etc? I’m the same age and I don’t know the process. How do I not get the unaccompanied minor thing. I don’t need it as I am mature enough to not mess around. Please help! (13-14)
In order to fly by yourself you have to have a government issued photo Id. Without that, you have to either fly with an adult or have your parents sign you up for the airline’s unaccompanied minor program.
@@BenDreamVacationsSo I’m 13 and I can fly ALONE no Unaccompanied minor thing. Will a passport work at all? Hope to hear back!
As a 13 year old you most airlines are not going to let you travel alone unless you are traveling with an adult or fly as an unaccompanied minor. Southwest Airlines has a policy where you can fly by yourself as a 13 year old but your parents will need to book the ticket for you and authorize their consent for you to travel alone.
@@BenDreamVacations Is Southwest Airlines safe? I was thinking either them or delta. It’s a 2 hour flight from where I am to the designation. What else should I know? Thank you!
Southwest is safe, I fly them fairly often. If you fly with Delta you are going to need to fly as an unaccompanied minor and there is an extra fee for that. Southwest doesn't charge an extra fee.
hi what can you say about wizz air
I personally haven't flown Wizz Air but be prepared for a lot of hidden fees and extra charges. If you just need to get somewhere for cheap and don't need to take a lot with you it can be a good option. The seats I have heard are fairly uncomfortable and their customer service isn't great either.
Sir i am 16 year old and i want to travel italy in may in alitialia airline do i need my parent consent , actually my mother lives and father lives in italy , is father and mother both consent is required plzz tell me
Yes, you will need your parent’s consent. Anyone under 18 who is traveling alone internationally will need to have both parents sign a consent form for you to travel to another country. Even if both parents live in the country you are traveling to.
@@BenDreamVacationswhat does the consent looks like? Let's say my parents are trying to right a letter how would they do that? Print out a consent paper on google and have them sign it?
Would a state Id work ?
Yes, a state ID will work.
Does Delta Airlines allow 15-17 year olds to travel alone?
Yes, as long as you have your own ID like a drivers license or passport.
@@BenDreamVacations Perfect! Thank you so much. ☺️
Can a minor use a Military ID to get through security?
It needs to be a department of defense Id with a DOD number.
@@BenDreamVacations does a beneficiary DoD ID number count?
@@thatoneaveragepal yes, it includes DoD id numbers issued to dependents.
which airlines let you fly at 15?
No airline that I know of will let you fly alone at 15 without going through their unaccompanied minor service.
@@BenDreamVacationshow about 17?
I need help
What do you need help with?
Is a birth certificate a form of id
You can't use a birth certificate as an ID to fly. You would either need your own ID such as a driver's license or passport or if you are under 18, your parent would need to use their ID.
