What seating restriction applies to unaccompanied minors?

• A. UMs must sit in exit rows.
• B. UMs cannot be seated in exit rows.
• C. UMs must sit in the last row.
• D. UMs can sit anywhere.

Answer: (B)

Exit-row seating is reserved for passengers who can meet safety requirements and assist in an evacuation. An unaccompanied minor would need supervision and might not be able to fulfill those responsibilities, so they’re not allowed to sit in an exit row. Airlines place them in standard seating with supervision to ensure safety and proper handling. That’s why the correct rule is that unaccompanied minors cannot sit in exit rows. The other options don’t reflect this safety rule and would imply seating in areas that exit-row policies do not permit.
