Accompanied unaccompanied minors

My kids were supposed to fly home from Florida as unaccompanied minors today. Got to the airport and found out that because of a weather advisory in Ohio, they can’t fly alone. Airline policy. Too many uncertainties. I get it.

But: For reasons not worth explaining, the kids HAVE to be home today and if they don’t make this flight they’re not back until tomorrow night. Plus: I don’t have a hotel room for them here so it’d be an another additional cost. So: I bought a walk up ticket and I’m flying with them. Then I turn back around and go back to Orlando on the same plane. Cost: insanely expensive. But I somehow avoided crazy security screening.

The things we do. The things we do.
