A Small Kid in a Big, Big Airport******************************************************************?

Question

In September, I have to board an airplane from Beijing, China to San Francisco to Los Angelos.

During the flight to Los Angelos, my parents can't be with me because they have a meeting there.

By myself, I have to bring my little sister to find the airplane travelling from San Francisco to LA.

I'm only 10 years old, and I get lost very,very easily, and I'm scared that I'll miss the flight or get lost in the airport.

Any advice :(?

The airline we fly on is United.

Answer 1

when you get there ask someone that works for united to lead you in the right direction. then keep asking as you go along. it would be best if you could get someone to go with you the whole way. just tell them you are 10 and on your own, and im sure anyone will be willing to help you. just dont be afraid to ask.

Answer 2

Don't worry I live in San Francisco and the airport is very hard to get lost in seeing as it is like 4 years old. You will be arriving in International Terminal G. Once you clear customs, there are screens telling you what gate your connecting flight is. Follow signs "connecting flights". United is in Terminal 3 Concource F, which is the next terminal over from International G. You can simply walk to it. Concource F has more amenities than all the other concources put together, so your little sister wil be fine. Because you are under 15, a United person will meet you at the customs exit and take you all the way to your seat on the plane to LAX. Make sure you call United and arrange this beforehand. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 3

At age 10, you would not be able to travel by yourself without Unaccompanied Minor service which your parents will get at the airport counter, the flight attendant responsible for you welfare will walk you to your connection and seat you on the correct plane. You can not travel alone on a flight until you are age 14 on most carriers.

Answer 4

As a Travel Agent I know for a fact they will not allow you to board without either a parent or guardian or an additional fee to be paid to the airlines for adult supervison to be provided through out flight from beginning destination to end .You need to be 14yrs old to go without an adult and in some cases 16yrs old.

Answer 5

As soon as you get off the plane go ask one of the people in a uniform where your next flight is! They can take you there, or have someone else take you there! Also, tell the steward/stewardess on the airplane that you will need help. They can get help for you.

Answer 6

Have your parents provide a chaparone or at least call the airline to have them arrange for a baby sitter. US Law says you MUST be older than 12 to travel by yourself. Your parents could get in a LOT of trouble if someone decides to turn them in.

Answer 7

YEAH!!!! for you and your loved ones. this is an success for any parent whilst their baby says mama, despite if this is a good larger success if the youngster has a disease, extraordinarily a verbal substitute disease. i'm so happy for you. i don't have babies of my own, yet i'm a instructor and have worked with babies that have studying issues. The look on their face once you coach them to spell their call is efficacious. I even have 2 babies that i'm very close to to that have issues. My 17 year previous cousin has down syndrome (and in all risk additionally autistic) and yet another is a 13 year previous with severe studying disabilities. the biggest success with the 17 year previous is coaching her to no longer have a meltdown in the shop whilst she did no longer get her way. This exchange into carried out purely 2 years in the past. The 13 year previous success got here approximately 4 years in the past whilst he discovered his handle. i think of he has with the aid of fact discovered his telephone variety, yet he has worry-free grandmas telephone variety for roughly 3 years. He calls grandma extra suitable than he calls his residing house and somebody is often residing house at grandmas residing house so it made extra experience to coach him that variety first, plus this is an much less complicated variety to keep in mind.

Answer 8

You will be an unaccompanied minor, and you and your sister will be taken through the airport by an airline staff member.

Best wishes and God bless.
