The extent to which this matters depends on the laws of the destination country as well as those of any transit points.

I would expect increased attention to minors traveling without parents due to recent publicity regarding trafficking of children.
Kids are 9 and 12. This is a domestic booking so I was hoping to avoid too much hassle! Waiting on the BAEC hold queue for the definitive answer just now, but I know that FT may be more useful in terms of the info I get without having to hang up and speak to several agents
