The following rules are in effect for unaccompanied minor travel:
- Continental will allow unaccompanied minor travel only on Continental Airlines, Continental Micronesia, Continental Express and Continental Connection flights.

- Unaccompanied minors ages 5-7 may only travel on nonstop flights.
- Unaccompanied minors ages 8-11 may travel on any flight (nonstop or connecting) operated by Continental, Continental Micronesia, Continental Express, or Continental Connection. However, travel will not be allowed on the last connecting flight of the day – unless the connecting flight is the only published service to that destination.
