Travel Tips

If your child is flying or riding a train or bus alone this holiday season, let’s talk about a few things to think about that might make their journey safer and more enjoyable.

• When you make reservations for your child, specify that the child will be traveling alone.
• Whenever possible, book a non-stop flight or direct route. Avoid booking the last flight of the day.
• Plan to visit the airport, train or bus terminal prior to departure. Let your child know what to expect, so the experience will not be so intimidating.
• Make sure children travel with proper identification to include parents or guardian’s contact information.
• Always have a back-up plan for the person or people meeting your child at the destination, in case they are delayed.
• Encourage children not to become too friendly with other passengers or to reveal any personal information.
