Delta Fares

Will Delta (airline) check my exact age to make sure I do not need to be checked as an unaccompanied minor?

I am going to Detroit, Michigan this summer from Portland, Oregon. My flight leaves Portland at 1:00AM and I get to St. Paul, Minn, at around 4:30AM. I then board a plane that takes me to Detroit, Michigan. On the way home I leave from Detroit, Michigan at about 3:00PM and fly to Los Angelese for a 4-hour layover until I finally board the plane to arrive back in Portland at about 12:00 MIDNIGHT. I am 14 years old and will be 14 years old when I take this flight. If I am 15 I would not be counted as an unaccompanied minor. If I told them I was 15 would they allow me to fly by myself? Or would they really go check into it and look for my exact age on their computer somehow? Thank you and please help me out! Any Delta or Northwest Airlines Ex-Employees could maybe help me! Thank you!

1. YEP !
2. Of course they will check. To fly alone, you need to produce identification with your name, sex and birth date. Unless your ID shows a fake date of birth, you're busted
