[quote=Anonymous]OP - don't know if you are still reading this- I only read page 1 and 2- but you are placing WAY TOO MUCH confidence in the "ASSIGNED" flight attendant part.

I traveled once internationally from Europe to the U.S. as a teenager in a wheelchair due to orthopedic injuries and surgery.  There was a layover in Paris. 
The "assigned" flight attendant couldn't or wouldn't go past a certain point - there are so many security checkpoints- and said that her colleague would be picking me up from this point and bring me to my next gate.  I was left in the middle of a busy hall in my wheelchair and with some luggage, and her colleague never showed up.  I had trouble even attracting anyone's attention, as everyone rushed past, and it took me forever to get to anyone who could even try to call someone to help me.   Long story short: Not a good experience.   Don't think that this "assigned" person will stay and sit with your child at any point really.  They will keep an eye on him, if they are not distracted (yeah, right!), and just check in from time to time.

Never in a million years would I consider this for a 5 year old.
