Delta puts on hold all unaccompanied minor travel due to Atlanta airport crippling outage

Some passengers described their experience as a "nightmare."

Delta said on its web site it has temporarily embargoed travel for unaccompanied minors. They do not say when it will end.

Unaccompanied minors who already initiated their travel Sunday and whose travel was disrupted as a result of the outage are exempt from the embargo and may continue to travel.

Delta also said customers flying to or from Atlanta between Dec. 17-19 could make a one-time change to travel plans without incurring the usual fee.

The following is information about Delta's Dedicated   Unaccompanied Minors (UMNRs) program.

The dedicated phone number is 800-325-8847 and may be used by travel agents or customers who have questions regarding Delta's UMNR program.
