[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not. I’ve recently flown two long haul flights and would not think it appropriate for a young unaccompanied female passenger. The flight attendants have many duties on long flights like that and even if you pay an unaccompanied minor fee that does not mean they will keep eyes on for the whole flight. It’s dark, people sleep, people roam around, people drink too much. If your daughter has experience doing this kind of solo travel on long flights and is mature and has good judgment then maybe but I personally would not. He can either send you a ticket too so you can bring her or they can plan a different trip together. Or he can fly back himself to get her. [/quote]

Its a bit ironic that all these parents who probably minimally supervise at home are concerned about a plane ride.  Its absurd.  OP probably would not let the kids go even if Dad came and got them,

We have friend's daughters who regularly fly cross country alone to see us.  Never been an issue.  [/quote]

Cross county is NOT the same as long haul transpacific.[/quote]

For these purposes, what's the difference?  Is it only the length of the flight?  [/quote]

The fact you are asking this suggests you have never flown long haul Trans-Pacific, even as an adult.[/quote]

I have, within the last six months.

So, other than the length of the flight, what's the difference?  [/quote]
