Can a 17 year old travel on plane without an adult?
You can travel alone without parential consent. The policy is though. Under the age of 18, all minors can not receive overnight accomdiations on the airline's expense based on a cancellation and most hotels won't even allow a minor to have a room for the night. The same rules as like working at a restaurant like McDonalds applies to the airline industry: All minors ages 8-17 can not get the last flight out of that specific airport and the minor can use a direct flight or connecting city flight. An adult over the age of 18 have to purchase the ticket for you. Please read the link below as it will better detail any problems or concerns. This is mostly the same thing with every airline you look at. :UPDATE FROM ASKER'S EXTRA NOTES: For Southwest: You have to have someone over 18 use a credit or debit card to buy the airline ticket with your name as the Passenger and the Name and billing address on whomever is buying it. That person also have to go to the airport with you so you can retrieve your ticket from the self-service kiosk. When you receive your ticket you will receive a board letter. The Board Letter is either A,B,or C and whatever number associated with that board letter. For instance, your board letter is A and the number is 27 out of like 40.. that means you will be the 27th person to board the plane to pick your own seat. B-27 is the 67th person and C-27 is the 107th person. Southwest for now is a pick your own seat airline with the emergency exit seats mainly going to the first 6 people. Once then you can proceed to the security checkpoint line where you have to keep your ticket out and also your state issued ID or Passport for verification purposes.

How should my husband and I prepare for flying with two 1-year olds on our laps? They eat solids and also comfort breastfeed, and this flight will be 5 hours long.
My daughter was two months old on her first flight, Germany to the UK, return. I breastfed on demand and she slept for part of the three-hour trip (a Hercules army plane, stopping in Brussels, hence the longer flight time). NB I was alone with the kid/s on these trips as their dad was away with the military.We flew, return, from Germany to Canada when she was seven months old. She fed via bottle then but was a good sleeper, so it was a quiet flight. I also took her, when she was 18 months old, via car and plane (we lived two hours from Frankfurt) back to the UK from Germany. Also no issues as we traveled plenty via car on the weekend and took her everywhere. A few times her dad had business back in Canada and she went with him then, too. She’s even been from Europe to the UK via car, train and ferry. A well-traveled little girl!Enter her brother; they’re 27 months apart. Not a great sleeper til he was 18 months old. When he was six months old we flew from Germany (Lahr) to near Toronto (CFB Trenton) and that boy, the cutest thing on the planet, slept for about 10 minutes, every hour, for eight hours. As I mentioned, my daughter was a great traveler and probably slept for about half the trip. She was in her car seat and quiet. Her brother was babbling away so I was able to get a few minutes’ sleep here and there but, when we arrived in Trenton (near Toronto) and my parents picked us up, I passed out PDQ in the car!I’m sharing this to show each kid is an individual. I did take snacks and games and baby toys and I have many nursery rhymes and kiddie tunes in my roster, but it depends on the baby. Luckily there are two pairs of hands with your two babies!The trick is to be prepared. Bring extras of diapers, clothes and food and anything else you use daily. The airline likely won’t have what you’d expect, even if you call ahead and they say yes, it’s standard. Try to book the trip for when the twins normally nap as that helps.Generally, apart from take-off and landing, most babies and young children find airplane rides soothing. If you can co-feed or give one baby a bottle during the take-off and landing, all the better. That’s probably the part to be most prepared for as it can hurt their little eardrums.Wishing you many fun days with your children. (Trust me, it goes faster than you’ll ever believe - mine are grown up now and one has kids!)
