[quote=Anonymous]I flew alone starting at age 6 throughout the 1980s. Supposedly I was an unaccompanied minor but no one ever paid any special attention to me boarding or disembarking. I always walked right off the plane, and could have gone with anyone/gotten lost. Luckily I never did and luckily my parents/grandparents were always there, and luckily nothing ever happened on the plane that I needed assistance with on any of the flights. I do recall feeling lonely and unattended. Perhaps there is more oversight now with the UM program, but based on that experience and also the experience of having many flights diverted/grounded for a variety of reasons (once I woke up from a nap on a plane to hear that the plane was losing fuel and we were making an emergency landing), O would never send my child unaccompanied. I’m not sure what my age is, but definitely not now (10 & 12) - and actually, my 10 year old is special needs and will likely never be able to be unaccompanied, but still wouldn’t send my newly 12 year old.
