Is it really a better idea to deliver your child into the hands of a complete stranger than to let her just use the main part of the terminal alone like everyone else?

Conversely, would the typical ba97.com traveller want the job of keeping an eye on someone else's child they've never met before when they're probably intending to be in the lounge to have a quiet read or do a little work?

I'm afraid I think she'll have to cope in the main departure area, like the vast majority of other teenage travellers.

Ah well, that's a different matter. That makes sense.
