- Prepaid credit card (debit card)
- Hand your card to the GA that is boarding your daughter and have them swipe your card for DirecTV and bring it back to you. Do the same on the other end with your parents/grandparents
- If you pay UM fees, the child is allowed one free snack/meal from the menu
- Pack her some snack if what she gets is not enough
- Give her some cash and hope some pax with CC will swipe their card in exchange

Is it one free snack off the BOB menu? If it is, it's almost worth it getting my parents to pay the UM fee, except for the fact you get a GA making you go with her, that alone makes it not worth it for me...
