Chris and Jerry discuss many of the rules and regulations parents need
to know in order for their children to travel safely and legally by
themselves on planes, buses, and trains. Each airline, bus company, and
rail system has its own requirements for children traveling solo. Some
of these rules include age requirements. Generally, children under age
five are not allowed to travel by themselves. There are several age categories, each having its own rules, that can apply, such as ages five
through seven must travel only on non-stop flights, eight through eleven
may be able to change planes, etc. Specific rules regarding the person
meeting your children must be met and confirmed by the airlines, bus
company, or rail system. Many other rules and requirements are given to
help ensure your children can travel by themselves. Parents who want or
need to send their children by themselves to a destination need to
listen to this show to get a solid foundation to ensure a safe and happy
trip for their children.
