have any of you had your kids fly as unaccompanied minors to visit family out of state? how was the experience?
i was thinking kids had to be older, but see Southwest starts at 5yo.
i thought this would be a good option for Wolverine to visit her grandparents over her summer break without DK and I needing to take a lot of vacation time, but that it probably wasn't possible until she was 8 or so.
She's a good flyer, and I know that a kindle would entertain her for the 2.5 or so hours to get to PA, but I don't know if she's mature enough at this point (6.5) to handle it.
