I have actually never rode on an Airplane, but my mom is always like "One day, were going to send you to spend time with Grandpa in Ohio", then it will probably be by myself, I live in Texas...

I HAVE!!! and its awsome. Complete freedom from parental authority. I spent 9 hours by myself flying across the US. ohio to cali baby. It gets boring when you dont got anyone to talk to tho. I spent like an hour starring at the guy i sat next to cause i was bored and i swear he looked exactly like bruce willes. I had to ask him if he was or not lol.

I have a couple of times before. Nothing really different from flying with family or something, you're just alone is all. Last time I flew alone I was stuck in the middle seat of the middle aisle of the plane for 9 hours.. That wasn't too much fun haha

I have acually never flown alone before. But its like I do, because after we get our tickets I just go off on my own and usually sit away from my family. But I wouldnt be scared or anything, we fly all the time so I know how to navigate my way around airports and what to do and such.

Yup. 4 times. First time was from Myrtle Beach, SC to Atlanta, GA. That was an hour and a bit. Then connected there back home to Dublin, Ireland which was about 7 3/4 hours. Then again this week. Monday just gone I flew on my own to visit my bestie on the other side of Ireland, and flew back alone yesterday afternoon. Both flights were about 35-45 minutes.
I've also sat away from family/school peeps on flights before. I don't mind as long as I'm flying, and at the window.

Only twice, both times were 29 minute flights from OKC to DFW. I fly a lot so I knew what to expect, but usually my parents are with me.

I've not only flown alone, I've flown THE airplane on my own! It's not bad, and it gives you a sense of freedom. You'll be just fine. If you have any concerns about the conditions of flight, just let me know.

I flew to Boston twice last year from Manchester airport on my own. I don't have the greatest success record when it comes to life in general and even I could do it. It's easy, you just have to be very alert and make sure you have plenty of time for everything. :)
It's mainly tedious more than anything.

I live in Washington DC with my dad and stepmom, and my mom lives in north caolina. I go down to visit her alone all the time. but instead of going directly down, the plane, for some reason has to travel all the way to chicago. But its really really easy, and quite fun! Don't be nervous, just don't panic or freak out at all. you'll be fine.

I am 15 and just recently started flying alone reguarly. I have almost all of family in Detroit but sometimes we dont have enough money to go see them so my mom lets me go up there and I see my sisters, couisns, aunts, uncles etc. I absolutely love flying and after the first time I flew alone it felt pretty routine to me. :yes:

I've flown alone around six times, each was to the same destination at the opposite side of the country--I hate long flights.
Never had much trouble though, other than the time I lost my ticket (Later found it in the men's room) and when some guy sitting next to me on a late night flight kept drinking damned grape scented medicine. I'm alergic to dyes in medicine and it reminded me of when I was younger and my family didn't know I was alergic, they'd make me drink it and I'd puke in wonderful colored spews. I was this close to snapping and telling him to put the stuff away before I threw up on him.

Yeah, last year. Seeing family in SA, I flew Perth-Adelaide & back on my own. I was meant to fly with my sister on the way back, but with all the problems with Qantas then, we ended up on entirely different flights.

I fly alone all the time. I go to my aunts house in jersey twice a year. I've flown alone since I was 10. Probably done it about 20-30 times. Once I flew alone to Venezuela and then flew to Aruba to meet up with my family back when I was 14. I had to finish finals and wasnt about to take them a week early. 14 yo American boy alone in an airport in Caracas, not a fun time haha
