    15 year olds will be treated like adults all I can say traveling as a teenager on your own is very boring

  • He will have to fill In an visa card on the plane wont he?

    Make sure he has a pen with him! - also might be worth filling one out before he flys as it could be a bit confusing for him.

    I used to go to my dads in Jersey on my own when i was a teenager and there was always someome who met me at the gate, took me to get my bags then to the arrivals gate where someone was waiting for me.
    You will need to ring the airline though, most facilitate younger travellers.
