| Jun 8, 2015 at 13:07 | comment | added | smalltown2k | @Mehrdad if this was a critical issue for them, then they should have bought when there were enough seats together available, or maybe just get over having to sit split up for a few hours and not try and make it everyone else's problem. Or, which was my point, use the tools available to select seats near to or close to one another. | |

I guess its about having to make special arrangements with the airlines if you are under that age. | |
| Jun 7, 2015 at 6:33 | comment | added | Fattie | sure; I'm always amazed that relatively often you get 6 or 7 year olds flying alone, even on the longest flights (Aus to europe); conversely it does seem a bit stodgy that expedia makes a blanket 18 year default. note that the OP is literally "unaccompanied" and a "minor" (16 is a legal minor in most jurisdictions, including India I believe). | |
| Jun 7, 2015 at 6:27 | comment | added | Nean Der Thal | @joe the airline I work for set the age at 15 for emergency exits, and to travel alone you must be 12 or more. So it depends. | |
| Jun 7, 2015 at 6:23 | comment | added | Fattie | Hi keelYou -- fair enough, -- thanks for pointing this out -- I may have misunderstood!? He's 16 right, isn't that in the unaccompanied minor age range for many airlines? (I actually thought "all"?) Note that you simply can't book a flight on expedia as a 16 year old, it's 18 minimum, for this reason. they tell you to go direct to the airlines if under 18. | |
| Jun 7, 2015 at 6:06 | comment | added | Nean Der Thal | @JoeBlow No one was talking about unaccompanied minors here. This is just an example. Take it easy dad :) | |
| Jun 7, 2015 at 5:45 | comment | added | Fattie | it seems inconceivable a crew member would ask an unaccompanied minor to change seats!! if one of my children, solo, was asked by a crew member to change seats, I would literally take legal action against the airline. aircrew lavish attention on the legal horrors of solo youths flying, so they can never be caught out and sued- it would seem amazing that this could happen. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:37 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | +1, good with the 'family sit together' and 'would love to but..' example. | |
