Let’s discuss in this blog how we look after Unaccompanied Minor

Important Information

We at SW Airlines Flights provide Unaccompanied Minor service to and from all domestic destinations. We make it a point to not transport Unaccompanied Minors on flights that might get diverted or canceled due to inclement weather or other operational abnormalities. We expect you to arrive at the airport early. Review our suggested airport arrival times. Make sure that you allow enough time to park the car, obtain your escort pass, go through security, and check in at the gate. Pets are prohibited to travel with Unaccompanied Minors. Although we want to inform you that our Flight Attendant will check on the child periodically, but will not continuously monitor the child throughout the flight. Don’t worry about your child just book them now with us.
