Probably not, but each airline sets their own unaccompanied minor (UM) policies. For example, take USAirways: ---Children under 5 may not travel without parent or legal guardian. -----Children 5-14 may travel unaccompanied on non-stop flights for an additional $100 fee each way. US Airways assistance is required. -----Children 15-17 may travel unaccompanied on non-stop and connecting flights without US Airways assistance. As you can see, it depends on the age of the child & the nature of the flight. In your case, they could fly alone *only* if the trip is a non-stop flight. I would also cost you an extra $100 per child *each way*, or $200 per child round trip. But this is USAirways' policy only. UM policies vary (slightly) by airline, and to the best of my knowledge, all of them charge at least $100 per one-way flight per child. And the UM service is typically required for kids under 12. For more info, you can check any airline's website for their UM policy.
