im flying my niece to see me (question about flights) - GoFuckYourself.com

Babagirls · 07-29-2005, 10:21 AM

shes only 7 yrs old and she has to ride on the airplane by herself and i thought i wouldnt be too nervous about that since parents/relatives do that all the time, but im really hella nervous now.

any parents here ever do that before that can maybe put my fears at ease??

no. there isnt anything thats going to put your fear behind you untill you see her step off that plane.

Not to worry Baba, notify the airline and they will walk you though it. It's not really a huge deal if the child in question is cool with it.

They will basicly assign a flight attendant to watch after the child while on the plane and get her to you upon arrival.

ya, i talked to the airline about it, but the gal i talked to was unsure of a few things, and that made me nervous lol she bascially told me to just check in to pick up some badge that will give me access to the gate shes flying into.

No, but they did take very good care of me. And I got to talk to the Pilots and go see everything in the "cockpit"

Things have changed since 9/11. Be sure and let the airline know ahead of time so those who are dropping her off and picking her up can get passes to the plane.

Several airlines charge $25 or so per segment for the flight attendants to keep an eye on them and escort them off the plane.

My son started flying by himself at 5 and always loved it!

oh cool! hopefully my niece will like it too then! shes flown a couple of times before (not by herself though) and loved it, and shes so excited to come see her aunt 'baba' so she'll probably love the whole experience, hopefully a good one that she'll never forget
