Would you allow a 16 year old to fly alone?

Of course...you can handle that just fine. If you need help when you cnage planes, there are plenty of staff in the airport to help you. Do be super careful with your carry-on bag...keep the strap wrapped around your wrist at all times...sitting, standing, whatever. Have fun on your trip.

I went on my first "alone" plane ride when I was about that age. I don't really think it's a big deal. Have fun!

Yes, it will be safe for you. Just be careful in changing flights and things of that sort cuz it can get confusing. Being a young woman it will be a lot safer than driving. Have fun!

It will be fine. Make sure your parents give you money for a payphone or give you a cell phone to borrow. If you can ask you parents to set up a bank account for you so you can access money for emergencies.

yeah, i would. I expect a 16 year old to behave and not act like a 6 year old. They are supposed to be more mature...

If you have any questions or you want some help, you can ask the flight attendants.

Oh yeah!! Do your parents have a problem because you have to change planes??? The only thing you have to be able to do in order to change planes is to read the signs in the airport....based on your successful post I'm guessing you can read.....

I think it is fine. I have seen 10 year olds get on flights alone.
Good luck flying!

It really doesn't matter what we think, only what the airline thinks and what your parents think. Since you're 16, the airline is not likely to be the sticking point.

We don't know you at all, and our opinion of whether it's a good idea or not to let you travel alone is of very little value. And even if I thought ot was of value, your parents are the ones who need convincing. Did you think that if a bunch of strangers on the internet said "Sure," that would sway your parents? All I can say is if it does, look for better parents!

By the way, I have no reason, either, to think that you couldn't handle it just fine. I simply have no basis for any conclusion, and it doesn't matter what I think anyway.

Yes, I have seen parents let there seven year old fly alone, and I was disgusted by the parents for doing that. But at 16 yrs. old you can make informed decisions and the maturity level to fly solo.
