it really depends on the airline.....THIS is United Airlines policy

12-17 years (Optional)
Unaccompanied minor service is available, but not required, for this age group. We strongly recommend that teenagers who are not using our unaccompanied minor service be confirmed on flights early in the day. Unanticipated delays or cancellations and unexpected weather such as fog, snow, thunderstorms or air traffic congestion may disrupt flight schedules and result in misconnections. If delays result in travel the following day, United may not be able to offer overnight accommodations since many hotels will not accept minors aged 17 or younger.If unaccompanied minor service is requested, standard fees will apply.

If a child aged 12-17 years is traveling as an unaccompanied minor, he or she will be accepted under the conditions specified for unaccompanied minors aged 8-11 years.

I think you have to be 14!!

The minimum age to fly alone depends on the airlines. Children as young as five years old can fly alone, provided arrangements are made beforehand. No one is going to question a 14 or 16 year old.

i think you can travel at pretty much any age, (maybe nothing less than 10 or something) but you travel as an unaccompanied minor and they take special care of you and make sure you get to who you're supposed to get to.
