Checking luggage for minor I'm not traveling with
My parents are flying through my local airport and my 5 year old daughter is joining them on their journey from there. My parents and daughter have their itineraries "connected".
I'll be checking her in and checking her baggage. As I thought about it though, I realized this might be a weird situation. I'd imagine there are two fairly normal situations:
Unaccompanied minor
Accompanied minor with an adult on the same itinerary.
However, I'm not sure my situation (accompanied minor without the adult on the same itinerary) matches those exactly.
Will I have any trouble checking baggage in this situation?
