My husbands is finally getting some rights to see his daughter. She lives in Tennessee and we live in Florida. We are exploring all options to make it easier on everyone. We just need to know how old before she can get on the plane as a um?

Answer 1

i just got off the phone with a travel agency and the women told me that it can vary from airline to airline, but the average would be age 5 for a nonstop flight and age 8 for a connecting flight.  and the fee's vary the same with about $40 -100 depending if it's nonstop or connecting.

Answer 2

It depends on the airline's policy.
