How can someone under 16 buy a plane ticket?

How can someone under 16 buy a plane ticket and go through Dulles Airport? I need to get from Manasses to Lewisville,TX. I don't have a credit card.|||If you're determined to do this, here goes:





Buy your ticket online (which is going to be impossible without at least a debit card). Then use the self-service check-in; you might want to check at the airport to see what airlines have self-service check in your location. If you don't have any checked baggage, and you plan to leave when the airport is busy, and if you're close to 16, you'll probably make it through.





If you need more clothes and stuff than you can pack into a carry-on bag, send them to your destination via parcel post or UPS before you leave. This will keep you from having to drop off your bags at the counter (and this also means that the airline won't lose your luggage, either).





You might also check the airlines' websites to see what their unaccompanied minor policies are. Some make a big deal about it, and some don't, and the airlines vary as to what age requires an accompanying adult, and which ones don't.





Also, it might be a good idea to print out maps of the airports you'll be going through, so you can find your way on your own. The whole idea here would be to blend in as much as possible. If you do get lost, ask an employee at one of the shops in the airport--and especially not employees of the airline you're flying on (unless you're old enough to fly unaccompanied on that airline). Even then, if you're en route and have left the airport where you started from, they'll send you on through to your destination, most likely with a 'friendly' flight attendant to hold your hand like you were 6 years old the rest of the way.





Take extra money; the airlines generally don't provide any meals anymore, and they're getting stingy with the peanuts and sodas. Bringing one of those Lunchables meals with you is a good idea.|||are you running away?|||You cant.|||buy, probably...





use, probably not...|||charter a private jet. As long as you pay them hundreds of thousands i'm sure they will make an exception for your little butt|||have an adult by it for you|||It won't happen. Talk to your parents, or someone else you can trust, they would want to know what's going on with you.|||airport websites or getting a friend to buy it for you








or you can set up a bank account at bank of america and get their visa debit card that works for any place that takes credit cards|||A minor can buy a ticket with their own money, but a parent or guardian has to be there to sign consent. There's no reason for you to anywhere without them knowing anyway. And speaking as a parent, they, or someone else a little older, should be going with you.|||You must be an adult!|||you can't.


thats why God made parents.
