[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People call CPS when they see kids playing alone in their own backyard these days.  How do you think something like this would ever, uh, fly in today's world?[/quote]

I just looked up international airline policies on min. ages for unaccompanied minors and transfers:
El Al - age 5 - 100 dollar fee, no transfers allowed
British Airways- age 5, 150 dollars, no transfers; age 6-12 child can transfer flights
Air France- age 5, can transfer plans and there is a special lounge for unaccompanied minors at Paris-Orly and DeG., 75euros

Emirates Airlines- age 5, must pay for adult ticket, can transfer but only onto Emirate flights. The website said they would even take a picture of your kid on board or give them birthday cake if it is their birthday.
Singapore Airlines-age 5, transfer only 
Lufthansa-age 5, transfers aloud, special lounge for unaccompanied minors in Frankfurt and Munich airports

So actually in today's world it would fly for a five year old to be an unaccompanied minor.

Nope, today's world is all about shaming people via social media, the rules be damned.  Someone takes a pic of a solo 5-year old on his journey, and it's all over.

You're naive, PP.[/quote]
