Children Traveling Alone Travel Advice Show

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.
