If things work out for me, I'll be off in Scotland around mid-July. The thing is, I'll be traveling alone, you see. For the first time, I might add. I'm fifteen years old. I don't know what kind of problems I will or might run into as a 15-year-old traveling alone into a foreign country. I'm not really worried, but I have been warned by friends that something could come up. I wouldn't want to finally arrive and get sent back to the US, you know. Thanks for the help.

Oh, I forgot something. I'll be staying at a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) place. It'll be for two weeks. I don't know if that matters, but I forgot to say that in the first post. Thanks again.

You should be fine but check with the airports that you will be arriving at and departing from, some have a policy that a person younger than a certain age must be met buy an adult on the receiving end. But good luck with your travels, be safe and let us know how it goes.

I live in the US. I know that a parent will be with me when I get to the airport, so that bit sounds okay, right?

Tadpole

Indeed I am surprised.

Will the parent be their when you arrive in Scotland?

Like I said though you need to check with your particular Airline for I do not have the policies of all airlines memorized. Unfortunately…But wait if I could have a super power like that I wouldn’t want it to be that I know all Airline policies… I'd pick like….know all languages or something cool. Like know all the state capitals…. Wait that idea sucks… but I digress Check with the airline.

Sorry, I thought you meant my parents. The person I'll be meeting up with will be there. Are you saying that maybe the airline needs her parent to be there?

Tadpole

LOL

The new member is laying it down.
