[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fifteen is definitely old enough. It is old enough to babysit, old enough to drive with a permit, old enough to be a lifeguard in my state. I flew on my own at 12 and internationally with my older sister when she was 12 and I was 8. Walk her through the steps of finding a gate, checking to make sure there isn’t a gate change, paying attention to boarding announcements and advocating for herself if anything makes her uncomfortable on the flight (sketchy seatmate). This will be a great experience for her (and you)![/quote]

You must have flown a long time ago because no airline is allowing 12 year olds to fly alone. None of your examples are relevant.  Texas has had huge delays and cancellations.  We had one delay and at 2 am they gave us a hotel room because it wasn’t going to happen.  They won’t give a minor a hotel room but if she’s signed up for unaccompanied minors she will be taken care of.

She’s flying alone.  What’s wrong with signing up for the airline to ensure her safety? [/quote]
