how old is the child? Over 12? I think some airlines allow from 12, so even if yours needs to be 14, as long as you get past security, noones asking your age. and ymmv if security asks age.

Security doesn't see the age written on the reservation, and shouldn't have an issue allowing an unaccompanied minor through, as it isn't their concern.

is it possible to complete a check in online without them forcing you to pay (they just let you deal with it at the airport)

I don't think 14 is considered a minor

On AA and Delta, it is. 15 and over can fly unaccompanied.

Why the need to make him 18? Why can't you just make him 15? (Assuming that he's comfortable flying in his own)
