Question

How old do you think a person sould be to be able to fly across the country by themselves?

Answer 1

Old enough to be alone by themselves for several hours without freaking out. I mean, airports are extremely safe places... probably some of the safest places ever for a child to be alone. They are being watched at all times by dozens of security cameras and there is a huge security force on hand to handle any problems.

All they have to do is when they get off the plane just walk up to the desk, say "I'm an unaccompanied minor traveling alone, would you please help me find my next plane?" and they will summon someone to help them out.

It's really not a big deal at all.
