Do they sell plane tickets to minors? Yes, as long as you have a credit card (if you're booking online). You don't have to have parents' permission to buy the actual ticket online, and you just show your ID (which can be a driver's license) at the airport when you check in for your flight.

You need to buy it ahead of time unless it's a last minute emergency or something. Chances are, if you wait, your flight will be booked. No, you don't need to have a passport if you're staying in the same country, but if you're traveling alone you will most likely need an ID. This can be a driver's license, school student ID, or even birth certificate/social security card.

Since you're 16 you shouldn't have a problem with getting a boarding pass and traveling alone.

EDIT:
You'll have to check with your airline, but many places offer a money order option. I'm not exactly sure how that works, and if you call the airline you may be able to send them a check or something. Here's what I would do. If your parents have a credit card you could use, you could pay them with cash. If they're okay with it. Or, if you can get a friend/relative with a credit or debit card to help you out, that would work too.

You can buy a ticket if you are under 18 and you don't need parent's permission. I have traveled by myself when I was 16.

You need a credit or debit card to buy a ticket. They might take checks, not sure. And YES you need an ID to prove that you are who you say you are. You can buy a ticket at the airport, the day it leaves, but it will be harder to get a seat since everyone buys theirs online in advance.

You only need a passport if you leave the country, but I believe you can use that as a form of ID as well.

I don't mean to jump to conclusions, but it sounds like you plan on running away. If you are, just know that they will find you. Your name appears on the ticket and in the records. That's why you need an ID to get on a plane in the first place. They need to know who is traveling on their planes.
