[quote=Anonymous]I used to travel unaccompanied every summer when I was a small child. One of my grandparents would come get me in the layover city. I started doing layovers at age 8. I would not let a 5 year old do a layover but I would let him do a direct flight. For a direct flight the parent can come to the gate (but check if that's still true) and make sure he boards the plane. At arrival the child stays in the seat until all of the passengers have unloaded. Usually I was brought into first class or an empty seat near the flight attendants right before descent. A flight attendant will help the child retrieve their luggage and meet their relative. For a layover flight the child has to be handed off to a new crew member. I remember once I was told to sit down by the gate and then they forgot about me. I had to find someone to take me to my next flight. I would not trust a five year old to advocate for himself like that.[/quote]
