[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way! Do people really think this is okay?[/quote]

I am actual more shocked that people don't think this is ok.

They are 10 and 12 not toddlers. [/quote]

I already replied that I think it’s okay and we do this. We have also been looking into letting them fly alone to see their grandparents. I know people who have let their kids fly alone at younger ages than this. [/quote]

I'm one of the people who said this is not ok, and I let my kids fly alone cross country (grandparents live in California) when they were that age and younger.   Most airlines allow a minor to just fly alone (without paying for the "unaccompanied minor escort" at the age of 14, but United allows it at 12, or at least they did when my kids were that age.  My kids have flown alone (without the escort) at 12, and with the escort at younger ages, in accordance with the airline policy.

Flying on an airplane as an unaccompanied minor with the airline's knowledge and consent is not the same thing as leaving minors alone in a hotel room (while you are miles away at a museum) in direction violation of a hotel's policies.   [/quote]
