If you've ever flown with family, you're probably familiar with the hassles of expensive airfare, lost luggage, whining kids and long, noisy flights. Flying by yourself is a great way to enjoy the benefits of air travel without worrying about your children - or those around you, for that matter. This article will show you how.
Steps
Browse around for the least expensive airfare. After you've decided on an airline and where you'll be headed, visit their website or give their reservations department a call. You will often find the cheapest rates if you book an economy class seat on a midweek flight, or better yet, a red-eye flight. Additionally, because of the fact that you are traveling alone, this will cut down the costs of your ticket considerably.
If you prefer to fly without kids around you, try booking a flight where the chances of children on board is least likely. For example, a mid-morning weekend flight to Orlando, Florida will almost certainly be full of children and their families. If possible, try to fly during the following times:- Midweek (e.g. Tuesday, Wednesday)
- Early morning, evening and nighttime
- During the school year (September - June)
- If your flight offers business class seating, you may find it useful to spend the extra dollars for the convenience of traveling with other adults.

Pack as little as possible for the flight. If you'd normally have to take two carry-on bags when flying with family, take only one. A small handbag that can be slung across your shoulder is adequate, as it weighs little and can be easily stowed under your seat. Make sure to have all other luggage checked; if you choose not to, you'll have to store it out of reach in the overhead compartments and possibly pay extra for the increased baggage size.- Don't be unprepared on a long flight. It goes without saying that you should have a few items to keep you entertained during the ride. A few useful items to consider are
- An iPod for music, games, and more
- A laptop
- Books, magazines, other reading material
Enjoy your flight! Flying solo is a great opportunity to relax, have fun and explore new places.Advertisement
