Traveling with my minor sibling

Hi! 
I was wondering if I needed any special documentation or need to consider anything when flying with my 10 year old sibling without either of our parents. I’m married and have a new last name and just wanted to be ahead of any issues that may arise. We will be on the same confirmation number and flying domestic.  

thank you!

Also make sure to get legal documents that allow you to make medical decisions in case of emergency

As long as your name and ID are matching the ticket you should be good.

 

The other bad advice about ID earlier that had appeared but thankfully moderators caught it - a minor isn't required to have an ID. If she does have something then great, but it isn't required by TSA or Southwest.
