Sometimes people worry so much when their child will fly alone. It is fraught with worry about your child, doubts about airlines’ watching out for your kid, plus big fees for the privilege. And there is also varying rules from airline to airline, the unpredictability of flying, and it’s is hard to not concern on them. But sometimes it is unavoidable and could happen anytime. Plus, at least according to one kid we interviewed, it can be fun.

If your children have not flown before, take a trip to the airport. Familiarize them with the identifiable uniforms of the proper airline representatives (of whatever airline they’re flying). And there are some tips for your child’s journey while they are flying alone:

• Give proper identification and cash for emergencies.
• Keep carry-on luggage to a minimum weight and size, and make sure each bag has an identification tag.
• Remind your child that they should only ask for assistance from a uniformed representative.
• Parents should stay at the gate until the child’s plane takes off.
