• Adults are ages 12 through 64 for purposes of airline fare rules. However, children under the age of 15 are considered Unaccompanied Minors. MontroseTravel.com will not sell tickets to Unaccompanied Minors under the age of 15.
• Children are ages 2 through 11 according to most airlines. However, MontroseTravel.com also collects the ages of children 12 through 18 so that we can offer any applicable hotel discounts.
• Infants are under age 2. The number of infants must not exceed the number of travelers ages 12 and over.

• In a reserved seat—Choose this option if you wish to book a separate seat for the infant. You will be required to supply an infant car seat to ensure the infant's safety. Seats reserved for infants may be billed at special infant fares.
• Without a reserved seat—Choose this option if one of the adults in your party will hold the infant throughout the flight.

• Please call MontroseTravel.com directly for specific policies and fees.
• Minors who are old enough (approximately ages 5-17*) can usually fly on nonstop, direct, or connecting flights, but usually are not accepted on the last connecting flight of the day. The age depends on the airline's policies, so please check with MontroseTravel.com.
• Many airlines provide (or require) supervision service for minors from the time of boarding until the time the minor is met at the final destination. This is called unaccompanied minor service. Minors must be approved by the airline for this service.
• Younger children (typically under the age of 5) are often not eligible for unaccompanied minor service and must be accompanied on the same flight and in the same compartment by an older passenger (typically 15 years or older).
• Unaccompanied minor service is often mandatory for children ages 5-14*, but optional for teenagers (ages 15-17). Age requirements depend on which airline they fly.
• A fee is usually charged at check-in for unaccompanied minor service. Expect to pay $40 or more each way.
• With unaccompanied minor service, the airline will usually want to know who is meeting the minor at the destination. Proof of identification for the receiving adult is often required. Forgetting this required identification could cause unpleasant delays, so make sure you know the airline's requirements.
• Reservations usually need to be confirmed for all segments of the minor's flight. Standby reservations are not allowed on any segment of the trip.
• Again, please call MontroseTravel.com directly to inquire about unaccompanied minors and purchase tickets.

• Coach/economy class seating is in the main cabin area. This option usually yields the lowest airfare.
• Business class seating is in an intermediate area between first class and coach/economy. This option usually yields a more expensive fare than Coach and is not available on all aircraft.
• First class seating is in the cabin area nearest the front of the aircraft or on a separate level. It has the fewest and most comfortable seats, and offers upgraded meals. A first class fare is usually the most expensive, and is not available on all aircraft.

• Nonstop flights only - Check this box if you want to see fares only for flights that do not stop or change planes at one or more airports before you reach your final destination.
