What is the youngest age a minor can fly alone, but accompanied by a guardian, I presume through the check-in process and to the boarding gate? And collected by a guardian upon arrival.

This is usually covered by the airline's Unaccompanied Minor rules. Some Airlines will require the parent check the child in at the main desk. Please see the bolded text below of the Nok Air webpage.

Traveling with Infant or Child

• We reserve the right not to carry infant of less than fourteen (14) days old.
• Infant aged between 14 days and less than 2 years old on the travel date may fly at the prevailing administration fee per sector provided he/she sits on an adult's lap. Each adult passenger can travel with only one infant.
• Child aged between 2 and less than 12 years old on the travel date will not be accepted for carriage unless they are accompanied by a person of at least 16 years of age. Passenger aged between 12 and less than 16 years old on the travel date can travel alone but cannot accompany child aged under 12 years old.
• Passenger aged above 16 years old on the travel date can accompany children ages under 12 years old.

What travel documents do I need for infant and child?

• Infant aged under 7 years old requires the original birth certificate or passport.
• Child aged between 7 - 15 years old requires the original birth certificate or ID card or passport.
• Passenger aged above 15 years old requires ID card or passport.

A 13 year old is okay then. Thanks. 

We had a 13-year-old recently travel from Bangkok to Chiang Rai on AirAsia. Having flown with her family a few months prior her father walked her to the AirAsia desk, signed a form, and AirAsia handled the rest. The father was required to remain at the airport until his daughter's flight was in the air.

 

To make things as simple as possible we requested she carry everything in her backpack (so no baggage check-in) a have a fully-charged smartphone with Internet add-on (tested) just to make sure we had updates along the way.

 

Technically AirAsia was supposed to make sure she safely met relatives after landing, but we got a call from the 13-year-old saying she was first heading to the restroom and would meet us after, showing up at the arrivals seating area on her own.

 

I'm pretty certain we have the right child. She is very quiet and doesn't immediately answer to her name when called, but I think that's normal behavior for any 13-year-old girl.

 

Troll post reported and removed.  

 

Can drive a motorbike at 6, so assuming they can travel alone soon as they can walk!

12 years.

Best to check with carriers directly... Domestic or International flights may differ.

A guardian cannot go beyond passenger search/screening area if they are not flying, certainly not to the boarding gate which is deemed air-side and off limits.

You can call the airline and arrange that an un-accompanied minor is traveling and they will give you the details, they may provide a handling agent to escort them to the gate and arrange one at the destination to be picked up by someone with passport or similar identification which must be pre-arranged.
