SoloFly is a free educational certification program that teaches teens ages 11–17 to confidently navigate airports, handle disruptions, and fly independently — so families can skip expensive unaccompanied minor fees.
Most airlines allow teens to fly solo at certain ages — but nobody teaches them how. SoloFly changes that.
Airlines charge $50–$150+ per flight for unaccompanied minor services. Even teens who are old enough to fly solo have never been taught how airports actually work — check-in, TSA, gate changes, delays, emergencies. Parents are left guessing if their teen is truly ready.
SoloFly is a free, structured curriculum that teaches teens real airport skills — then tests their knowledge with a rigorous 30-question assessment. Teens who pass earn a digital certification proving they've been trained. No fees, no guesswork.
SoloFly is an independent educational program — not affiliated with any airline today. But our mission is bigger than education alone.
Airlines charge families $50–$150+ per flight for unaccompanied minor programs — even for teens fully capable of flying solo. SoloFly's goal is to build a certification standard that airlines recognize and accept, so SoloFly-certified teens can fly independently without UM fees. We're starting by educating families, building a community of certified young travelers, and then partnering with airlines to make it official.
Four steps from registration to certified solo traveler. Completely free.
A parent or guardian creates a free account and registers their teen. Parent consent is required for all participants ages 11–17.
Your teen works through three learning modules — Takeoff, Cruise, and Landing — covering everything from check-in to baggage claim.
A 30-question certification assessment covering airport navigation, security procedures, flight tracking, and emergency scenarios. 80% required to pass.
Pass and instantly receive your digital SoloFly certification — downloadable, printable, and ready to show you've been trained.
SoloFly's curriculum follows your teen's journey from curb to destination — every skill they need, in the order they'll need it.
Check-in, baggage, reading terminal maps, navigating the airport, and clearing TSA security with confidence.
Boarding procedures, seat assignments, in-flight etiquette, using FlightAware to track flights, and handling delays or gate changes.
Deplaning, baggage claim, ground transportation, handling lost luggage, missed connections, cancellations, and emergency scenarios.
After completing the modules, teens take a 30-question certification assessment. It's not just a quiz — it's a real-world readiness test.
