My 11 year old stepdaughter lives in Skowhegan, Maine and it will be
her first trip to us in Buffalo, New York for Thanksgiving this year.
The flights will be Portland, ME - hub - Buffalo, NY and the same on
the way back. There are no direct flights.
Every airline seems to have a policy about unaccompanied minors on
non-direct flights.
I have a friend who was a travel agent before 9/11, and she said it
USED to be that you could pay a fee to the airlines to have the minor
accompanied. I look at all of the policies on the websites and am
unable to get a clear answer - do airlines still do this? I don't care
which airline she flies, particularly (as long as it is reputable), but
it will be nearly impossible for us to accompany her.
Can anyone lend any insight? Thanks.
