Flying Alone, Safe or Sorry?

Flying Alone, Safe or Sorry?

Should we fly alone? Is it a matter of how much our parents trust us or how much our parents care about us?  In my opinion it is definitely both.  It is a big part trust because we need to be organized, aware of your surroundings, and most importantly: safe. But it is also hard to let someone as close as planea child to literally fly away.  I recently turned 11 and I have no intention of flying alone for at least another year.  It is frightening just to think about being alone on a plane.  Some of my friends started flying alone when they were just 8 and I really believe it is a family decision.  If it is a tradition or a way boost confidence than great, but do you want to take that risk?
