[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just get in line for family boarding with older kids. No one has ever stopped us. Done it dozens of times. [/quote]

This. My kids are older, but i’be always seen families prevailed including the older siblings. Are you seriously thinking of leaving your 8 year old stand in line alone while the 4 of you pre board with families?!! and what would you do if he doesn’t show up? [/quote]

OP back… this thread took a turn.

I was more afraid that 1) SW would stop us and I wouldn’t have gone on 24 hours on the dot and had boarding group D or 2) passengers would be angry and yell/ make comments at us. I’m not confrontational so I’d probably just step out of family boarding.

My 8 year old is fully capable of sitting alone and I am not concerned about that. In fact he likes to be by himself. [b]In the airport though? I’d be concerned though I think he could handle it. [/b][/quote]
I support you using family boarding, but this last part doesn't make sense. If they enforced the age limit, why would you have your 8 year old to board by themselves, instead of having your DH board with them? You could board with your two children under 6 during family boarding, and DH could wait and board with the 8 year old to make sure they safely get on the plane. [/quote]
