Which term describes a child traveling alone?

• A. Preflight Inspection
• B. Unaccompanied Minor (UMNR)
• C. Round Trip
• D. Ready Reserve

Answer: (B)

The term for a child traveling alone is an unaccompanied minor. Airlines use UMNR to indicate a passenger who isn’t accompanied by a parent or guardian for the journey and requires special supervision from check-in through to arrival. This includes procedures like ensuring a staff member accompanies the child at the gate, during boarding, and when handing off to the designated guardian at the destination, with any applicable fees and contact information on file. The other terms refer to different concepts: a preflight inspection is the pilot’s preflight checklist, round trip describes travel to a destination and back, and ready reserve is a standby/hold fare category—not about minors traveling alone.
