[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I knew that were a lot of nasty people on DCUMs but why are you so nasty? He has never flown alone and hasn’t flown more than 2-3 times in his life. Not everyone has money to fly their kids around on their own. He asked me if I was coming to the gate and I had no idea if it was allowed. Thanks to those who answered the question without being a jerk. [/quote]

But how is he going to learn to fly on his own if you don’t let him figure it out. By the time I was 18 I was backpacking through Europe alone. As a millennial female. One time I bought a train ticket to the wrong city in Poland and had to get a new ticket without speaking a lick of Polish. Drop him off early enough for him to fix it if he screws up and let him learn. [/quote]

How nice for you. I have to wait at the airport until his flight leaves anyway. If it’s canceled, I have to take him home so why not wait with him? [/quote]

I’m not that PP and I’m not trying to be rude, but the answer is you don’t wait with him so that he has the opportunity to be a little independent. You can track the flight status and keep in touch with phones. [/quote]

Yeah waiting until his flight leaves is something I would never consider doing unless it was bad weather and it seemed really good chance it would be cancelled (but wasn't already). It's not like dropping your kids friend off at home when you wait 30 seconds until they get in the door. You are talking waiting potentially an hour and a half or two hours. I have never heard of anyone doing that except for unaccompanied minors.[/quote]
