Has anyone travelled alone in flight when you were a child? I have travelled alone in flight when I was 10 years old. It was the first time. I usually travel with my parents, but they could not make it that day, as they had some urgent work and postponed their travel. I was accompanied by a staff of the airport who took me to the immigration counter.. I did not know anything and was totally blank, but the airport staff was really good. She helped me ,took my visa ,and passport and came with me to the counter ,then she put my bag in luggage.She really helped me a lot.

I have not experienced that before. Were you having a holiday and who took care of you once you arrived at the destination?

Must be a precious experience for you. I've never traveled alone as a child or an adult.

Up until now I haven't travelled alone in a flight. With your experience, the hospitality given to you by the staff, I'm sure travelling would be fun.

@rubyriaz007 actually, alone wouldn't mean that much when you're with strangers
