It is weird but basically you CAN but not really. Up until 14 you are typically babysat (with a hefty fee) by the airport staff and FAs. 15 to 17 you can be left alone but have to have a permission note and guardian at gate to gate pick up.

How many kids do you know that travel unaccompanied international?
