Mexican Consulate in L.A. takes a wide-ranging role in guiding immigrants to social services. Partnering with U.S. government agencies and nonprofits, the consulate offers aid on parenting, healthcare, labor violations and other issues.
Young adults may travel alone on American Airlines, though they are required to use the unaccompanied minor service if they are younger than 15 years old. A young adult who is at least 15 may be booked as an unaccompanied minor, but you also can book him as a regular passenger. You cannot buy a young adult a ticket without an adult if their travel requires a connection to another airline.
General Age Guidelines: Airline rules vary, but here's a good idea of what to expect on domestic flights: Children ages 1 - 4 may fly only when accompanied by an adult. A child must be at least 5 to fly alone. Kids ages 5 - 8 can take a direct flight to a single destination but not connecting flights. Those over 8 may change aircraft. If they're ages 8 - 11, they will be escorted by airline personnel to their connecting flight. A significant extra charge for this service is likely.
