Does Southwest do Unaccompanied Minors?

Southwest Airlines allows minors to travel solo on their flights, with specific age restrictions. Minors ages 5-11 years are required to use the unaccompanied minor service, while children 12 and older may travel without the program if they prefer. The Southwest Airlines UMNR Policy assures that minors are managed and assisted at every step, from check-in to boarding and on arrival. There is an additional fee for this service, which covers the extra care provided throughout the flight.
