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.
In most cases, a minor traveler can fly alone between the ages of 12 and 17 without any restrictions or special services. Unaccompanied minors, or UMs as they are called in the industry, are solo travelers between age 5 and 12 to 15, depending on the airline.
