I'm constantly amazed that parents entrust their children to airlines. - ty97 Jul 27, 07:46 3
- I think it was easier when I was a kid. My parents could walk me on to the plane, then non-stop, and my grandparents met me *at* the gate. - JaxSean Jul 27, 07:51 1
  - I believe they still give gate passes to allow parents through security to drop off / meet children at the gate. -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 07:52
- yeah really, they tend to do such a great job with people's luggage... -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 07:48
(a) I'm not sure I'd send my 9-year old on a trip with a layover, and (b) that poor kid. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 07:29 4
- yup, I only ever flew non-stops on my own as a kid. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 07:31 3
  - Me too, and I flew every summer from Colorado to Philadelphia. - JaxSean Jul 27, 07:32 2
    - of course, it helps if one of the destinations is a major hub - znufrii Jul 27, 07:34 1
