Just wondering for anyone of you that have left young children behind in the Uk have any of you used the airlines unaccompanied minor service to get them out to see you and if so which airline did you use and how did it go? This would be for a 11 year old.

Thanks.

When i was 14, so slightly older. I went alone to Aus on Singapore Airlines and they were absolutely fantastic. Lovely people and really looked after me (which at 14 i absolutely hated. lol) I was a seasoned traveler though, even at 14 i'd been to Aus 8 or 9 times so knew what to expect from the journey. Hope that helps.

It isn't Australia but my step-daughter flies from London to Orlando on her own 4 times a year. She is now 10 and she has been doing this for 3 years. She has a wonderful time and is always treated like a queen.

Yup our eldest started at 9 as an international UM and domestic UMs much earlier. We tended to use Qantas because they had always been very reliable to us as a family and the boys had been before with us since they were babies. They werent in the least bit worried about flying on their own.

Our daughter flew with Singapore Airlines as an unaccompanied minor, and the service was fantastic. She was around 15 at the time, but being profoundly deaf we thought it was safer that she used the service. Did not fancy her missing the connection in Singapore lol.
