[quote=Anonymous]I am usually a stickler for not lying but these fees are ridiculous for kids in this age group and it always steams me.  It is particularly bad because it sounds like this is an important trip and the $$ is meaningful to this family and it is a short flight.  So first, check with all the possible airlines to see if you can do the trip on one that lets your kid fly without being "unaccompanied" and charging the fee.  If your kid is an experienced flier, I think you can pull this off.  Here is the plan:  1.  When you buy the ticket, put in her birthdate but off by one year so she is one year older; 2.  No checked bags so she never interacts with ticket agent at the ticketing area; 3.  Go through TSA with passport (TSA will not have birthdate on ticket and will confirm identity) TSA will have no idea she is not with parents because you don't have to go through security together; 4.  Go to gate and get on plane and nobody will check to confirm that she is over 15.  [/quote]
