      @@finyl8813 hi! if u are below 18 years, u definitly need a parents permission. So before u are going to the airport, make sure your parents call (whatever airline u are going) to confirm that someone u know is going to pick u up once u reach that airport. If no need is there to pick u up then the airline will reject your permission to go to that country. So make sure your parents call them! Cause when i was checking in, theh asked me whether i was a minor. And i said yes so they kept me waitin and during that time my father called the emirates counter to say that he is there in dubai to pick me up. Believe me u would have no problem once u finished check-in. U would pass the immigration and security quickly. Btw is it your first time flying alone? P.s:- hope your trip goes safe 😁

Another thing is I was able to get a pass for a parent to walk me to my gate because it was my first time flying (alone. We didn't specify).

Don't push yourself too much, make sure to download songs/videos/movies {you'll definitely need it lol}, bring some snacks, make sure to listen to TSA and you'll be good to go. I also suggest getting there at least 1-2 hours before your flight just so you can get settled :) If you're switching planes in the middle just keep calm, if you're confused you can ask employees and I'm sure someone will be willing to help you to your gate

I plan on packing light, as in no need for a checked bag. Carry on/personal item only. Plan is everything that needs to be put in the bin (electronics,. toiletries) will be in my personal item bag so I am only emptying out/re-packing one bag. The only thing in there I won't need to unpack is a sleep mask. Thank you for your tips!
