Kids Buy tickets fly to TN alone

Saw this and though it was somewhat funny...my kids would be grounded for life! How in the world did they let them do this..someone is in trouble at southwest!

I doubt anyone's getting in trouble, except the kids. There's nothing illegal about kids traveling alone. Southwest's corporate policy only addresses 5-11 year olds, and the 11 year old was accompanied by two older traveling companions.

I fly alot and its not unusual to see teenagers flying without an adult though im not sure ive ever seen an 11 year old fly supervised by a 15 year old and a 13 year old. I bet they will have fun telling this to their classmates when school starts

If those were my kids they'd have to be standing when they told their classmates. I'd make sure they weren't sitting down anytime soon

Guess they got bored and wanted to have fun. Takes joyriding to a new level, sort of.
