What does my daughter need to fly with another family?

[verge1116]

My 12 yr old DD is leaving Saturday for vacation with her best friends family. They are flying to AZ, non stop. She has never flown before, and I have only flown twice in my life. Are there any specific documents I need to give her? Will the airlines ask for id for a minor? I just want to be prepared!

She needs to know her name -- and that is it.

Nope no id if under 18. We would always send our insurance info and a medical authorization note although ithey will treat without a parents permission as my mom has had to take my kids in a few times without the note and they haven't made a fuss. I am glad to hear it is non stop, my oldest DS went with a connecting flight to Miami from CA last year and on the way home missed his connection and had to stay overnight by himself in a hotel that luckily would even take an underage kid, well he slept through the alarm and phone at the hotel and missed yet another flight home which he didn't even call us about in time for my DH to not drive to the aiport. All this happened on Christmas eve for goodness sake!! I would of thought nothing could go wrong but it still did

Anyway just be pretpared for flight delayes coming and going and try and trust everything will be ok. As I posted on another thread alot of parenting the older ones is through baited breath and prayer!!
