Passenger
Types
Providing passenger information by age group will help determine
whether one or more passengers in a reservation qualify for a child
or senior discount fare. Please remember that special fares are not
available in all markets, or on all fares. Adults (age 18 to 64) When
special fares are not available for passengers that qualify for Senior
or Child, an adult fare will apply.
Seniors (age 65 and over)
Most airlines limit senior fares to those over age 65. Please remember
that special fares are not available in all markets, or on all fares.
Minors (age 2 to 17)
Tickets for minors can be classified as adults, children or infants
depending on the specific airline?s fare rules. We ask for ages of
travelers between ages 2 and 17 in order to find the best prices for
your trip. We will alert you if we find a special deal for a child
or youth traveler while searching over 400 airlines. Please remember
that special fares are not available in all markets, or on all flights.
Unaccompanied Minors
You must contact the airline directly before purchasing a ticket
for an unaccompanied minor. Most airlines allow unaccompanied minors
to travel on their flights, but have special restrictions, so please
check with the airline to confirm specific policies. Age restrictions
vary by airline. In general, children under the age of 5 may never
travel alone. Most airlines require unaccompanied minors services
for children ages 5-14, and some require it through age 17. Additional
fees apply (approximately $25-100 each way) and can be paid at check-in.
For security reasons, most airlines do not allow unaccompanied minors
to travel on the last connecting flight of the day. Some carriers
require unaccompanied minors to travel on non-stop flights only. The
specific flights required vary by airline, so check directly with
them prior to making a reservation.
Infants (children under 2)
If you're traveling with an infant (a child less than 24 months
old) in lap there's usually no charge for US travel - please check
with airline(s) for specific rules for purchasing a ticket for an
infant. Reservations for infants cannot be made through Gophi. |
