My almost-18 year old has flown many times, but is flying alone next month. The "young traveler" rules seem to say that child must be met at the destination by a parent/guardian, at the gate. How strict is this rule? Can my child instead just walk to the exit and meet friends, as if it were 2 months from now, and child was 18 ? What would happen if no parent/guardian meets the 17-yr old at the destination ? Child is very mature and capable of getting self to the correct airport exit doors. Thank you!
