How would I find an airline ticket for JUST one child?

I keep looking on every airline website for a ticket to send my friend's 11 year old son back to Rochester, New York from Pensacola. We're trying to send him back on August 21 but I can't find an airline that will allow only a child to fly. He's supposed to have an adult? I know plenty of people who put their children on planes without an adult. Can someone please help me find the cheapest airline ticket for a child and tell me what to do?

1. You should be able to get a quick answer for this from customer service at any airline site. Otherwise, call them up and ask about it.
2. The easiest way is to call the airline directly and tell them you want to buy a child's ticket. Hopefully they will ask if the child id travelling alone and if so what type of arrangements are you making ( ie unaccompanied minor). you can also call a travel agent they can provide the information needed to the airline.
3. what you do is you call the airlines booking # and then you can get an unnacompanied minor ticket so that the airline knws that he is flying alone so they can tke good care of him
4. Then visit your Airlines' station available in your region. Your 11 year old can be a UM in Cathay Pacific and every airline has this choice and also the child can choose the food he/she wants to eat at the airplane
