16yo flying alone - any problems?

skylight

DD wants to visit Granddad on her own this July so I am happy with her doing that.

Would there be a problem with her flying with the likes of Ryanair or Easyjet to Alicante? Also would it matter whether I paid on my credit card or her debit card?

I assume that it would be AOK, but need to check. Many thanks.

Looks like she is OK if she's 16 or older

Flying is OK. Just make sure about what she packs in hand luggage (i.e. liquids), size and weight of hand luggage and any checked bags.

Print two copies of boarding passes and make sure she keeps the two seperate just in case she losses one set.

All of the above applies to adults as well but if you do it it will add to your piece of mind.
