[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rule breakers usually get away with it, so I'm sure s/he'll be fine.

But I would ask myself if it's worth teaching your child they can pick and choose which rules apply.  [/quote]

My kid would have no idea what I paid for the ticket or what fees were or were not involved. [/quote]

But they ask the child's age at TSA.  So, the child would need to be told to lie.  [/quote]

My children have taken no less than 14 UM flights. They have never been asked their age. Ever. When in the process do you envision this happening? The TSA agent has no idea if a fee was paid on the ticket or not. The TSA agent is not charged with enforcing (and knowing!) each airlines age policy.[/quote]

Interesting.  I fly a lot with high schoolers.  Not my own high schoolers, other people's.  They ask the age every time a kid doesn't provide ID.  It hadn't really occurred to me that they didn't do so for younger kids.  Maybe they are doing so to confirm that the kid is under 18.  Maybe it's only if you're flying in that 15 - 17 range where it's neither UM nor ID required?  I don't know.  [/quote]
