Travel with Children

• Children younger than 18 years old do not qualify as household members of the "Unicorn Club."

• Credit card companies often give you increased rewards or thank-you points for booking travel online.

• Due to the recent increase in fraudulent travel offers, always book your tickets using an ADC Airline-approved reservation method.
