> This is harder to catch if you don't check in with a person
I’ve been in situations where when I try to check in via app or kiosk it says to see an agent (passport details needed to be updated, seat change, etc.).
I imagine they could do something similar here pretty easily.
I don't think it was an option for the unaccompanied minor to not check in with an agent. Part of the thing being that they'll have an escort to the gate and between connecting flights - and that can't be done at a kiosk or app.
The skiplagging was going to fall apart real quickly, it's just a matter if it happens at check in, or when trying to leave at the connecting flight when the connecting flight escort says "this way" and the minor says "but my parents are at the passenger pickup area."
Airlines take their custodianship of unaccompanied minors quite seriously.
