Book a child with a JetBlue companion on a separate reservation

Check the accompanying traveler's age before choosing the booking process. A child aged 2–13 can travel without unaccompanied-minor status when accompanied by someone aged at least 14.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    When the companion already has a separate reservation, give JetBlue that confirmation code and have the airline book the child. JetBlue waives the unaccompanied-minor and booking-service fees for this arrangement. Contact the airline before purchasing the child's ticket and confirm these waivers while it makes the booking.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    If the child will actually travel alone, the mandatory unaccompanied program applies at ages 5–13. JetBlue treats travelers aged 14 or older as adults for that program. Confirm the intended arrangement when the child's booking is made.
