[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fly cross country as an unaccompanied minor with airline was a big one for our kids. They always seemed to come back matured from the experience.  It worked. By 13 our oldest was returning solo from an international trip he was invited on with a friend’s family (the family had a summer home and stayed for the whole summer). This year at age 15, 12 and 8, we flew all three kids cross country to California without registering them as unaccompanied minors. The oldest was in charge.

Lots of other things already covered here. DH is big on giving the kids a budget for family needs and DH will split the savings with the kids on whatever they end up buying. Gives kids an incentive to save money. [/quote]

We haven’t had a reason to do this yet, but my 13 year old would be fine doing this. That is because we travel a lot and she is totally used to navigating airports. I will say that my little sister flew by herself at age 4 in 1983. I’m sure that the flight attendants kept an eye on her (or whatever they did back in those days). But looking back, I think my parents were wackadoodle.[/quote]
