It's definitely ok. They ask your age not to know if you are old enough to travel by yourself, but to see what type of ticket you are purchasing. I am a travel agent and I know that minors from 12-17 years old pay the same price for a ticket as adults 18 and above. Generally, websites will ask you if you are a minor between 2-12 years old, or an adult above 18. They rarely have an option for minors between 12-17 years old, but if you are a minor and you are purchasing a ticket, you did the right thing purchasing an adult ticket...You shouldn't have any problems at the airport...I hope my answer helped you.

Don't you think that when you show them your ID at the airport that they will figure out that you lied?????

Get ready for a long wait at the airport when they check your ID and find out you lied. They'll have to call your parents, and probably you won't be allowed to fly.

What kind of ticket did you buy? A concert ticket is ok. A airline ticket your asking for trouble.

If you bought an airline ticket and lied about your age, that's a problem, since ALL airlines are required by Federal law to get photo ID from ALL passengers over the age of I think it's 13 years old. If this is what you did, you need to let your parents know to contact the airline, plead stupid about the age (call it a typo or something) and ask how to give consent for you to travel alone.

Well, they will check ID. How much of a minor are you?
I think you must be 16 with legal ID to travel alone.

don't tell anyone.

I don't think so. I'd just have an adult buy it for you, it makes things go so much easier, and you don't feel like a felon afterwards.

You should be OK, but I would call the airline now to clarify.

Morally Or Legally? If you have parental permission both, No if you don't, unless ur living on your own.

The issue isn't "how old is old enough to fly by yourself at your own choosing?" The issue is providing wrong information that will not match your ID. This is a problem. You will need to pay the ticket change fee, if you did indeed buy a changeable ticket, plus any additional airfare. Ticket change fees for domestic flights are typically $100 to $150. Additional airfare will only go up as the travel date gets closer.

I guess you weren't as grown up as you thought. Live and learn.

Depends what it's for! Haha, really, you'll probably only get into trouble with that if you're buying porn. =P But if it's something like a ticket, I don't think anyone would actually press charges. Also, if someone DID decide to press charges, all you'd have to do is get a parent/guardian to say that they approved your purchase.

[( I'm guessing it was a concert ticket...<_< )]

No it is not ok! Especially if it is an airline ticket.
