[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People send their little kids alone on flights all the time to visit grandparents or non custodial parents but now they can’t sit alone on the trip to Disney?[/quote]

Sure, but they are unaccompanied minors and airline staff check in on them [/quote]

Right but the parents are On the plane so they could do the same thing right? You can't say "Oh flying to California alone at age 8 is fine" but "Flying with my family and not sitting with my 8 year old isn't fine." [/quote]

OK so in this scenario the parents, who are sitting in a different part of the plane, are going to get up multiple times to go check on the kid, as a flight attendant would for an unaccompanied minor.  And that makes more sense then just letting the kid sit with their parents?[/quote]

It's not about "letting a kid sit with their parents."   It's about removing a person from the seat that they[b] paid extra[/b] to select.[/quote]

This is not an issue if the family just boards in family boarding.  That is the point of this discussion.  If they board after the A group, then will be able to sit together, and since no one in the B group or beyond paid extra, no one who paid for early boarding would be asked to move.[/quote]
