Is it safe for a 14 year old girl to travel from PNW to Tenn in today's environmenr? [View all]

Flying unaccompanied.

My granddaughter.
Her mother lives in PNW. Her father lives in TN.

I have seen how men look at her.
This would be her first trip alone. Usually her older brother travels with, but he has a job now.

Make sure someone is at the gate to greet her. You should also be with her as she boards. Fla Dem Jun 19 #5

Direct flight with unaccompanied child ticket should be fine. Phoenix61 Jun 19 #6
