I was not aware of the $100 EACH WAY surcharge until getting to the
ticket counter (after the round trip ticket was paid in full). I wrote a complaint to Delta who's
boilerplate response was that it was standard operating policy to decline waiver of this fee. Although I informed Delta at time of purchase of the minor and they took down all contact information about who would meet her at the destination airport, no mention was ever made of an additional charge upping the
ticket price by over 60%. I had checked on a ticket by American who mentioned this fee and I chose Delta because there was no mention of this fee when booking the ticket. Why wouldn't they add this charge when I paid all the other charges with the
ticket purchase? Nothing on the itinerary even mentioned this charge. Delta took no responsibility for their
poor communication and SOPs. I will always look to alternative airlines and not fly Delta in my future travels.

Very short sighted comment that was. Court ordered visitation of children several states away creates two problems: Court specified travel dates and cost can completely block visitation if minors. Distance can be an effective visitation quarentine tha makes the offending divorcee laugh.

News flash, all airlines charge for unaccompanied minors, you're basically too lazy to travel with your child so someone has to baby sit them and make sure they dont get kidnapped. You're always welcome to check websites or asks reservations agents these types of things.
