[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 10 and 13, yes I would do this. Especially together. Younger than 10, no I don't think so. I also don't take the whole idea that because people did this in the 80s and 90s that it's ok today. Airline travel was completely different in the 80s and no one really cared if kids felt emotionally ready to do things and damn are we seeing that now! Ask Gen X how their anxiety is treating them. [/quote] And the flip side is that kids now are completely unable to cope when they finally go to college and are on their own because they have been hovered over and micromanaged their whole lives. Teaching kids some independence is a good thing. Mine have traveled unaccompanied a few times—to sleep away camp and to relatives—and the entire process every time has been carefully controlled and managed by the airline. And my kids report that the flight attendants on every flight have paid attention to them. [/quote]
