Question

Like Websites Where Thats Possible Or Tips

Answer 1

yep.... EVERYBODY can fly.....including them (minors.)

just make sure that their elders will make special arrangements with the airline  such as:

WHEEL CHAIRS

OXYGEN SUPPLY

UNACCOMPANIED MINOR services...

and ETC.

Answer 2

Yes, they can. At the age of twelve, I believe you can still get an attendant to sit with them or at least lead them through security and everything to make sure they're okay.

I fly by myself all the time, I have since I was 13...no big deal at all. The whole thing is pretty much self-explanitory.

Oh, and plus, as long as you're under the age of 16 you can have a parent go through security too...just not get on the plane unless they have a ticket. That was always great...the worst part about flying is the boredom.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes they can i dont know web sites off hand but they can ride alone and they will be helped and watched over by a gard or someone in charge

Answer 6

I know that they can ride airplanes alone, and now a lot of airlines offer a Flight Attendant babysitter type service wherein the attendant will devote a lot of time to your child in flight and walk them through the airport and generally stay with them.  This service is around $100 and many parents swear by it.  

While I do take the train occasionally I'm not sure that I've ever seen a child riding alone.  In my opinion, if the child is mature enough and there is an adult to get them settled on the train at the departure point and another adult get them off at the arrival point, then they'd be fine.  My biggest concern for train travel would be that they'd get off at the incorrect stop, as it can be very confusing with many stations looking almost identical.
