[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I would not. Maybe at age 7 or 8, definitely not 5. I let my just turned 6 year old fly unaccompanied to Florida to meet my mom, there was really bad weather and turbulence and he was terrified, plus the plane had to be rerouted to Hartford, which caused all kinds of confusion. Plus the man sitting next to him completely freaked out and kept screaming that they were all going to die. It was a bad experience for him, although he obviously survived it. [/quote] This happened to me on a non-stop domestic flight. We were re-routed and the kid who was 5 or 6 didn't understand that it wasn't a big deal. The poor kid freaked out and cried. We couldn't call someone to comfort him. So no way even though I understand it's expensive. Also, I know Americans are overprotective of their kids, but this kid was not American and the disruption of routine was difficult for him. So no way in Hell. [/quote]
