HELP ! Unrelated to AL help needed..
Thank You sweet Glass:
I really needed to hear exactly that. YOu know my husband is actually being rather matter a fact about it and I have been getting more and more agitated with him, but after reading your post, all your flight time....I think I'll just calm down and join all of you .
He has finally landed in Dallas and they comped me the UM status so he is going to the Un Minor rooms. Beds and TV there. He's not thrilled but he's safe and they will get him on th eflight tomorrow.
Well, a real war story for him when he goes back to school...

I know how scary it is for you, but I can assure you that he'll be thinking it's a great adventure to tell all his mates when he gets home.
Boys of 14 (and I think you said he's quite a big boy) are far more able to manage than we give them credit for. He's not in a foreign country, so he speaks the language and doesn't have passport issues. It sounds like I'm being tough, but the absolute worst thing that can happen to him is that he has to sleep in some uncomfortable airport chairs for a few hours.
If he was a couple of years older and going backpacking that's what he'd be doing anyway! My kids have pretty much travelled the world and spent many hours sleeping in those chairs, and so have I! Believe me, 24 hours is nothing! It took me 3 days to get home once, with no hotel in between.
And if it helps, when I was 15 I flew by myself from Australia to London - it took 36 hours with stops in Singapore and Dubai (changed planes both times but with no hotels) and I managed with no problems.
So relax and try not to get yourself into a tizzy - OK? :h:h:h
