*Unaccompanied Minor Program fees: Unaccompanied Minor bookings are available on flights operated by our partners Air France/KLM or Aeromexico. Partner airline unaccompanied minor program fees apply when that airline is the first operating carrier of the outbound and/or return journey, with fee amount determined based on the one-way direction of travel. If operating carrier for the first flight in the one way of the itinerary is Delta, connecting to Air France/KLM or Aeromexico, the fee is based on the table above. If our partner is the operating carrier of the first flight in the one way of the itinerary, fees are charged based on that partner’s program fees.
When you travel with a child under 2 years of age, you may choose to travel with the child on your lap (Infant-in-Arms) for free on all flights within the United States. Our step-by-step guide explains how to easily add an Infant-in-Arms to your ticket yourself.
Delta strives to seat family members together upon request. If you are unable to obtain seat assignments together for your family using delta.com or the Fly Delta mobile app, please contact reservations to review available seating options.
