![]() What is the proper age limit when children can be left alone in a cabin? Is it ever proper? CONCLUSIONĪ woman tried to upgrade to business class and ditch her daughters in economy class…and was denied. I grew up flying economy class and it makes me appreciate business and first class more today. Of course I also look forward to taking family trips when we sit together and solo trips with my son or daughter where we will certainly sit next to each other.īut even if I can afford a premium cabin for everyone as the kids get older, I want them to work for it just as I did (I’ve self-supported all my upgrades since I began flying in earnest in 2005). But I can certainly see a case on a longhaul flight when he is 10 and his sister is six when we leave them in economy class and fly business class. Right now, my five-year-old son is still far too young to be left alone in the back of the plane. If alone, the child(ren) must be able to sit without requiring assistance from others. Rules aside, I realize that each child matures at a different age and that is an important factor. I spoil my kids with premium cabins now even though they are far too young to properly appreciate them because daddy is unwilling to fly in economy class when it can be avoided. The key point to me seems to be that the children did not want to sit alone in this particular instance.įull disclosure: I plan to do this to my children as soon as they are old enough, at least when I am traveling with my wife. ![]() ![]() Airlines of course have unaccompanied minor rules, but this case is a little different: here the mother would still have been on the same plane as her daughters. They made their way back to economy class and I didn’t hear from them again during the flight.īut it’s an interesting issue that I wish to explore further.
