Safety tips for children traveling alone
Take time to discuss appropriate behavior
with your child before he or she boards an
airplane alone. If another passenger acts in
an inappropriate way, be sure that your child knows to in-
form a flight attendant or other airline representative. In-
appropriate behavior on the part of other passengers in-
cludes rude, offensive, or threatening comments; inappro-
priate touching; inappropriate conversations; taking food or
other items away from the child; or other behavior that
makes the child uncomfortable or fearful. In addition, inap-
propriate behavior would include any attempt to elicit per-
sonal information about the child. Make sure that you child
understands that no passenger they meet needs to know
things such as their full name, their home address, their
telephone number, or where they are going.
For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at
(213) 637-7650.
