Question Posted Wednesday August 22 2007, 12:14 am
Well I'm trying to get my friend from Alabama to be able to come to New York. [Where I am.] But the problem is, she's 12 and she has to fly alone. So does anyone know of any websites where you can buy a plane ticket for a 12 year old without needing an adult with them? And not super expensive ones? D: We tried Delta.com but those were like 800 dollar tickets for coach. Nothing over 500 please. =/

Michele answered Wednesday August 22 2007, 12:26 pm: The problem is dear, that no one can fly today without proper ID. Thanks to the precautions that all airlines take because of terrorist threats. So your friend would need her birth certificate, as proof of ID. Also, airlines don't like it when you pay cash. They like to see and credit card transaction, and mostly they like the person flying to have the same name as on the credit card. I think what you should so is call a travel agency. They can advise you. Actually you should try a travel agency in the city where your friend lives. They may be abel to find an inexpensive flight for her, they would verify her ID by meeting her and seeing her birth certificate, and she could pay them cash for the ticket and they would issue it. Another suggestion is a bus ticket. They cost soooo much less. and she may be able to travel alone on a bus. It is not that your friend cannot travel alone. Kids do it all the time. It is just that their parents purchase the tickets, provide ID and a credit card for payment.
Good luck to you. I hope your friend gets to visit you.
