What code is assigned to a 13-14-year-old traveling with an adult as UM?

The situation describes a minor who is not traveling alone but is with an accompanying adult. Airlines use a designation specifically for a Young Adult traveling with an adult, which signals that the passenger is older than typical unaccompanied-minor age but still a minor who is supervised by an adult. That category is coded as YADT. This helps crew and check-in systems apply the appropriate handling and supervision expectations—the adult takes responsibility, so standard unaccompanied-minor procedures aren’t required. This is different from an unaccompanied minor, which would apply if the traveler were alone, and it’s not an adult designation, since the traveler is still under 18.
