Is there a website that allows 15-17 buy a ticket and travel alone?

hi i have a cousin who need to get to ontario toronto but the problem is he is 15 and i need resources , something like orbitz and other websites that allow you to buy the ticket


Unfortnately, websites require credit cards, and credit cards aren't issued to childen your age.

i am not sure if they will sell to someone that age (i dont think it would be a problem because you can legally get on the plane (with a passport) so i dont see the problem) but if they do, and the credit card is the only thing standing in your way, go to CVS or other places and buy a Visa/master card Green dot card its basically a pre-paid credit card.

you buy a card and pay however much you want to put on the card, for example if you wanted $138.64 on the card, you would pay $138.64 (plus a $10 activation fee). its fairly simple. but the hard part is once you get the card, you have to call a number to get the card sent/activated you wont physically need the card to buy stuff, just the number, which i think is provided.

i just sell the cards, i dont know exactly how they work.

the only problem would be figuring everything out really.

its called go to the bus station and pay with cash. online sites want credit cards.

if he can use his parents credit card or something, just about any website will allow you to travel as long as you are 15 or over.

here is a website that explains it.
