[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am thinking of sending my son to stay with my parents over the summer in 2016.  He will turn 5 in Feb'16 and some airlines allow children his age to travel unaccompanied.  [b]A flight attendant would be assigned to him for the entire duration of the flight (there is a connection in Europe and the flight is 16 hrs total - both legs and back).  [/b]I am a single mom with no family close by, so I am trying to save on the cost of both of us flying there, and then me going back to pick him up at the end of the summer.

I have friends who have done what I am thinking of doing, but in light of all the airline disasters in recent months, I am a bit apprehensive.  What are your thoughts? [/quote]

How are layovers handled? [/quote]

OP here.  He would be brought into the lounge (to use the restroom, eat, rest a little) until the next connection where he would meet the next flight attendant who would travel with him for the second leg.  [/quote]
