Are we forgetting she’s 17. Do we know who purchased the ticket for her or who gave consent? Her mum?
This (her age) would imply that PBs legal guardian or parent would have had to consent especially travelling alone. If I knew my child was going on a plane on their own, I would be phoning them before they leave and asking to text me when they land.
I don't know how an airlines would know that Pheobe was 17. When you buy domestic airline tickets online they don't ask for your age, they only ask for payment. It is not as if she would have bought a child's ticket, everyone over 12 has to buy an adult ticket.
Children over 12 years of age will need to buy an adult airline ticket. However, parents of children aged between 12 and 15 can still flag with the airline that their child will be flying unaccompanied.
