There's so many situations, like, what if Landon ended up next to a general asshole? Or a person that hated kids? Or someone that wanted to wear their headphones and doodle on a phone the whole flight? Or another person with autism or something

Yeah, I appreciate how kind he was and I don't know the mothers personal situation but I feel so scared when kids that young travel alone.

I just had this conversation work my family. We remembered how back home and in the day if a kid traveled alone they'd be under the care of a flight attendant. It was actually cool because they would be like VIP, getting in and out first, a flight attendant always checking on them, and taking them to meet the pilot. I thought that was normal but apparently in the US you have to pay extra for that.

Really? That's sad, I feel like the safety of a child should just be a part of the job. My mum said when my brother was younger he flew alone but he also had a flight attendant keep tabs on him and make sure he was safe and happy.

Yeah it is sad. I Grew up in venezuela and back in the day, when it was a better country, my cousins would fly to my town and it was like that (it was included on ticket price to assure kid's safety). Some us now live in he US and now, and me cousins' kids want to vist other cousins and they couldn't because of that (more expensive, had to pay for flight attendant extra work)
