What to remind the newbie flying home alone kid?

<p>edad – You are right, this would be a good “learning experience”. Except:</p>

<p>Last class gets out at 3:30 on Tuesday. Airport is an hour away, and plane leaves at 6:00. Last flight of the day to Detroit.</p>

<p>Husband is in Mexico on business, and lands in Detroit Tuesday at 8:00. Daughter lands at 8:30 at same airport. Said airport is two hours from home.</p>

<p>This is NOT the time for her to learn on her own that she can’t get on the plane without her Photo ID. Or for her learn on her own to double check the departure times. Or for her to learn anything on her own except to get on the airplane on time!</p>

<p>Yep. And the flight is delayed for everybody while the late boarders wander up and down the aisle opening and slamming all 40 of them in a futile attempt to find room for their huge carry-ons.</p>

<p>Well, being “last in line” is different from being “late”</p>

<p>I second, the enforcement of bag size and carryon quantity. </p>

<p>The last one on, gets the pleasure to stick their butt and crotch in every aisle seat, while in that,</p>

<p>

to locate that bin with someone’s suit. :>)</p>

<p>I have been on flights on which perfectly acceptable carry-ons had to be checked because there was no room left in the overhead cabins.
I second the idea of getting on the plane early rather than late.</p>
