I didn't ask for a comment, I asked a question.


thanks
Just have to say that "very mature" people usually don't get into a pissing match with someone they don't know over a silly comment. This IS a discussion board and if you post a question here, you best be aware that people will "comment" back - regardless of whether that comment is positive or negative. If you don't care to hear what others think, don't post a message on a very public board.

And as an FYI...at the very least, you'll need a notarized letter signed by both of your parents with the dates that you'll be gone and even the flight numbers of the airline you're flying. And......not sure what the situation is in Canada but you may actually find it difficult to locate an airline willing to transport you since you're a minor traveling alone internationally. From here in the USA, VERY few airlines allow an unaccompanied minor to fly internationally - and it's not wise to book a ticket AS an adult because you do have to show your passport when you check in at the ticket desk (under age = denied boarding). You best check with whatever airline you plan to use. Airlines that do allow unaccompanied minors to fly have pretty strict rules about how this is done - one of which is to have the name of the person who will meet the minor when they arrive at their destination (by non stop flight only) written down on the authorization letter. The minor will be released to that person ONLY. No person to get the minor - the minor does not leave the airport and is sent right back home.
