Traveling Alone.?

Question

Well I'm a thirteen year old and my parents and I are considering me to go to Australia by myself. If I go to Australia then most likely I'll use Qantas Airlines or United Airlines. So if I go, will it be required for me to be a unaccompanied minor? Some websites said yes and some said no, so I'm really confused. Please help?

Answer 1

Even if it's not required you should still be an unacompanied minor. That way airline personel will know that you're underage and alone so that they can keep a closer eye on you. Also, if you've got family or friends picking you up at the airport in australia tell your parents to look into a chaperone service. You usually have to pay extra for it but it will make you and your parents feel a little more secure about the trip. I have a chaperone service for my flight to Mexico this summer (I'm 13) and even though my mom had to pay extra the fact that I have one is helping my mom keep her head straight.

Answer 2

Call the airlines  and ask them...

Answer 3

yeah call the air-line and ask.

they may just assign a hostess/host to keep an eye on you ...

I hope you have family to meet you at the airport.
