Still coordinating with the mother on logistics, but can anyone say from experience if I can book an award ticket online using my Skymiles for my (step)niece? She is 12 and the flight would require a connection.

I called to ask, but the nice but non-U.S. based operator didn't really seem to know.

I know there's an additional unaccompanied minor fee, but I'm a little unclear as to if I can use my miles to get her the right flight. I'd prefer to do it online because I am trying to get her on the same flight back (last leg) as grandma who is coincidentally returning from a different location that same day.

I figure I will just book online and then have the mom call, but wondered if anyone had direct experience with this kind of thing.

Thanks.
