[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone! They would be flying nonstop, and have done that exact flight many times with us to visit their grandparents. If the kids feel good about it, I'll let them. If they're hesitant, I won't push it.[/quote]

I think this is a good way to decide. Fwiw, I think this scenario is probably fine. I happen to think anyone who sends children alone under the age of 10 is insane. A five year old? Come on. [/quote]

I'm the "insane" parent of the five year old who flew alone--DC wanted to do it and was completely fine, grandparents met him at the gate there and I met them at the gate when they returned. Watched an iPad the whole flight, had a snack and a soda. They loved the one-on-one time with grandparents and asked to do it again the next summer. We did have to pay $200 (each way, I think) for an unaccompanied minor although maybe with older kids they don't require that.

Completely depends on the kid though--I have another kid who would not have been ok traveling alone at that age.[/quote]
