Saw this and though it was somewhat funny...my kids would be grounded for life! How in the world did they let them do this..someone is in trouble at southwest!

I doubt anyone's getting in trouble, except the kids. There's nothing illegal about kids traveling alone. Southwest's corporate policy only addresses 5-11 year olds, and the 11 year old was accompanied by two older traveling companions.

I fly alot and its not unusual to see teenagers flying without an adult though im not sure ive ever seen an 11 year old fly supervised by a 15 year old and a 13 year old. I bet they will have fun telling this to their classmates when school starts :lol:

If those were my kids they'd have to be standing when they told their classmates. I'd make sure they weren't sitting down anytime soon :-)
