[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for the feedback.

Yes, I'm hoping to find a way to board together.  Kid is shy and would want to be with me.  I don't care if the ticket is refundable, just didn't know if I needed to have the same type of ticket so we can board together.[/quote]

Honestly, this is a great opportunity to push your kid out of their comfort zone a bit. So what if they're shy? Perfectly socially acceptable to put on headphones on a plane, smile hello, and then not talk to your seatmate for the entire duration of a flight. [/quote]

I realize OP has already made her decision, but really folks, air travel is not the place to do this if your kid is not up for it. It's perfectly ok for an 11 year old to want to sit with their parent and for their parent to make it happen.[/quote]

What?  Why in the world not?  If for some reason kid gets a C, Dad can board with kid in the C section.  So they’d be sitting in two middle seats near each other.  11 year olds are perfectly capable of sitting quietly and flying without their parent immediately next to them.[/quote]

Capable yes. But we fly for vacation and want to enjoy ourselves and be relaxed. So we pay for priority boarding. [/quote]
