BargainAirTicket is an independent travel agency, we are not Allegiant Air and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Allegiant Air. Allegiant's rules for who may travel without an adult are set by Allegiant, carry real safety consequences, and can change; you can confirm them yourself by calling Allegiant directly at (702) 505-8888 at no cost. If your child needs to fly alone and Allegiant isn't the right airline for that, our agents help you find one that is, by phone, for a service fee, quoted before you're charged.

Sending a child alone on Allegiant

Allegiant does not have an unaccompanied-minor program of any kind, at any age, for any fee. A child fourteen or younger cannot fly Allegiant without someone at least fifteen traveling with them, say an 8-year-old visiting grandparents near Mesa, or a child splitting summer between separated parents in Provo and Punta Gorda. Airlines that offer a supervised unaccompanied-minor service, checked in by staff, watched at the gate, handed off only to an approved adult on arrival, are simply not what Allegiant provides. Once a young traveler turns fifteen, Allegiant treats them like any other adult passenger, no service, no extra step, no supervision. Here is exactly who can fly, who can't, and what to do if your child needs to travel without you.

    First question: is someone 15 or older traveling with your child?

    Yes, or your child is 15 to 17

    Book as regular passengers. A child 14 or under just needs a traveling companion at least 15; a teen 15 to 17 can be ticketed to fly completely alone, no special process required.

    No, your child is 14 or under with nobody 15+ flying with them

    Allegiant cannot fly this child. There is no unaccompanied-minor service to purchase, at any price. You'll need a companion age 15 or older on the booking, or a different airline that offers a supervised unaccompanied-minor program.

    No unaccompanied-minor service exists on Allegiant, at any age, for any fee A child 14 or under cannot be ticketed to fly Allegiant completely alone No staff-supervised check-in, gate monitoring, or arrival hand-off, because there's no program to provide it Ages 15 to 17 may fly alone, treated as adult passengers, no restriction A companion 15 or older, not necessarily a parent, satisfies the requirement for a 14-and-under child We can help find an airline that does offer unaccompanied-minor service, if your child must fly alone

    Allegiant offers zero unaccompanied-minor options, at any age, for any fee.

    Most airlines that carry children without a parent charge for a supervised unaccompanied-minor program, with staff check-in, gate monitoring, and a controlled hand-off on arrival. Allegiant simply doesn't run one. Its rule is a hard age line instead: fourteen and under needs a traveling companion at least fifteen years old, and fifteen and up flies as an adult with no supervision service at all. There's no fee to pay for extra oversight because there's nothing to buy, families who need a supervised option have to look at a different airline entirely.
    What to do instead, three real options
    Travel with someone 15 or older

    Book the child and a companion at least fifteen on the same reservation. It doesn't have to be a parent, an older sibling, another relative, or a family friend of qualifying age works. Confirm current seating and check-in requirements with Allegiant before you fly.

    Choose an airline that offers unaccompanied-minor service

    Several major carriers run a supervised program for younger children flying alone. If Allegiant's fares are attractive but a companion isn't possible, we can compare which airlines serve your route and do offer the service.

    Call us before you buy anything

    Tell us the child's age and whether a companion is traveling. We'll tell you honestly whether Allegiant can fly this trip, or whether you need a different airline, before you pay for a ticket that gets refused at the gate.

    Who can fly Allegiant alone, and who can't

    Allegiant's own age line. Confirm current details at allegiantair.com.

    14 and under, cannot fly alone under any circumstance:

    There is no unaccompanied-minor status to book on Allegiant. A child in this age range must travel with someone at least 15 on the same reservation, full stop.

    15 to 17, may fly completely alone:

    Allegiant lets teens in this range fly by themselves, ticketed and boarded exactly like an adult passenger. There's no monitoring service, no special check-in, and no extra fee, because there's no program at all.

    18 and older, a regular passenger:

    An adult flies as a standard Allegiant passenger; the age rule above no longer applies.

    Why this catches families off guard

    This is the gap that generic policy pages skip over.

    Most people assume every airline runs some version of an unaccompanied-minor service, because many major carriers do, a paid, staff-supervised program that checks a young child in, watches them at the gate, and releases them only to an approved adult at the destination. Allegiant doesn't offer any version of that, at any price. It matters most in exactly the situations where a parent can't travel: divorced or separated families shuttling a child between two households on opposite ends of an Allegiant route, a child spending part of the summer with grandparents in a different city, a kid heading to or from summer camp without a parent along. On a full-service airline with a UM program, those trips get booked and the airline takes on the supervision. On Allegiant, none of that exists, the trip either includes a companion age 15 or older, or it isn't a trip Allegiant can fly. Families who book Allegiant's low fares without checking this first can find out only at the airport, when a child is refused boarding.

    What "traveling with someone 15 or older" actually means

    The companion doesn't have to be a parent, but confirm the specifics.

    The age-15 threshold is about the companion's age, not their relationship to the child. A grandparent, an aunt or uncle, an adult family friend, or an older sibling who has turned 15 can all qualify as the person a younger child travels with. What we can't state with certainty here is exactly how Allegiant wants that companion ticketed, seated, or verified at check-in, those operational details can vary and change. Tell us who's traveling and their age, and we'll confirm the current requirement with Allegiant before you book, rather than assume and risk a problem at the airport.

    A domestic example: how it plays out at the airport

    The rule makes more sense applied to a real trip.

    Say a grandmother books an 11-year-old grandson a one-way Allegiant ticket to visit her near Mesa, planning for him to fly by himself because that's what she assumed every airline allowed. At check-in, Allegiant has no unaccompanied-minor status to place him in, and he's well under 15, so the airline cannot board him alone under any circumstance. The trip only works if a companion age 15 or older is booked on the same flight, a 16-year-old cousin flying along would satisfy it, an empty seat next to him with nobody responsible for him would not. Compare that with a 16-year-old flying the identical route by himself: Allegiant boards him with no extra step at all, because once a traveler turns 15, the age rule stops applying entirely. Same airline, same route, two different outcomes, and the only variable is age and who else is on the reservation.

    If your child truly has to fly alone

    Be honest about the two real paths, before you book.

    If a 14-or-under child genuinely has no companion age 15 or older who can travel, Allegiant is not the airline for that trip, no amount of paperwork or fee changes that. The two honest options are a different itinerary, arranging any qualifying companion, even one who only flies that single leg, or a different airline entirely, one that runs a real unaccompanied-minor program. We won't sell you an Allegiant ticket that can't be boarded. Call us with the child's age and the route, and we'll tell you plainly whether Allegiant works or point you to a carrier that does, and if you want us to book that alternate airline, our service fee is quoted before you're charged.

    Before you book, the checklist

    A few minutes now prevents a child being turned away at the airport.

    • The child's exact age on the travel date, 14 and under needs a companion 15+; 15 to 17 can fly alone
    • Is anyone 15 or older traveling with a younger child? If not, Allegiant cannot fly them
    • If there's no companion, will you need a different airline? We can compare which ones offer unaccompanied-minor service on your route
    • Confirm current ticketing details with Allegiant before you buy, requirements can change

    Don't book an Allegiant ticket for a lone child under 15 and hope it works out. There is no unaccompanied-minor service to fall back on, no fee that unlocks one, and no exception made at the gate. Confirm who's traveling with your child before you pay, either with Allegiant directly or with us.

    Frequently asked

    Can my child fly alone on Allegiant?+
    No. Allegiant does not offer an unaccompanied-minor service at any age or for any fee. A child 14 or under cannot be ticketed to fly Allegiant completely alone. If your child must travel without an adult, either a companion age 15 or older travels with them, or you book a different airline that offers a supervised unaccompanied-minor program.
    My child is 14, can they fly with an older sibling instead of a parent?+
    Generally yes, the companion just needs to be at least 15; Allegiant does not require it to be a parent or legal guardian. Confirm the current ticketing and seating requirements directly with Allegiant before you book, since specifics can vary by routing.
    Can a 15-year-old fly alone on Allegiant?+
    Yes. Once a young traveler turns 15, Allegiant treats them like any other adult passenger flying alone. There is no unaccompanied-minor supervision, monitoring, or hand-off procedure at any age, so a 15 to 17 year old checks in, boards, and travels with no special process.
    Does Allegiant offer any paid unaccompanied-minor option?+
    No. There is no unaccompanied-minor service to purchase on Allegiant at any price. If your child needs supervised travel, that requires a different airline. Call us and we will help you compare which carriers offer it for your route.
    What should I do if my 10-year-old has to travel alone?+
    Allegiant is not the right airline for that trip; a 10-year-old cannot fly Allegiant without a companion at least 15. Call us and we will help you find an airline that offers an unaccompanied-minor service for that specific route.
