Unaccompanied young person
My last time in an MLL, the agent said I was too young to be Super Elite.
I get comments about my age regularly.
Therefore, I should check this box, right?

Shouldn't that be Master Kennedy if you're a young person? Anyway, define young. Also, if you're accompanied by a cow, does that mean that AC thinks you're alone or not? Do emotional support animals count?

I think the issue is the lack of definition as young. But wait a few years and you'll be wishing your were still getting carded. Even the US didn't card me in the last two years :-(
Why is AC even showing this choice for someone they clearly should know is over 12?!?

I'd check it off just to see what happens... I think lots of non FF would check it off though. I'm actually going to ask some friends and see what they say as I'm curious now.
Agreed that they should put the age in rather than young person.

This reservation cannot be modified as an upgrade request has been completed. Please, contact Air Canada reservations to make any changes to your booking. ( 5011 )
Sigh.
If they said "minor", that would at least prevent 18+ from doing it.
15 year olds can buy UM service. But yes, this is a TB booking, so they have my birth date.

Perhaps if you didn't wear your osh koshs and bunnykins shirt.................
BTW, I wouldn't take the lounge agent's comments about your youthfulness too seriously. She's probably trying to discourage you from asking her for a date.

And believe me, I had no interest in asking her for a date.

Shouldn't it be "unaccompanied calf" in this case?

I assume if you check it they will want a CC number to charge you the $200 UM fee.
