I'm 18 and I only started flying alone this year since I got some credit cards and FF memberships just after my birthday (well "got" might be wrong, I put an effort into getting them).

There's never really been a problem with UA check-in agents or at the gate (they're quite nice) but with SK (speaking my native tounge) it's quite a different matter. For some reason they give me rather bad seats which I then must try and change at the gate.

Once I was stranded in Oslo since the plane was late and my connection had left (last flight) they checked me in at the Raddison aiport hotel.

The next morning I went to the Airport and was told by the extremely rude ticket-agent that my ticket actually wasn't rebookable. I guess he did not care that is was SK's fault that I'd missed by flight. Before I could protest he continued to tell me that the first flight was 7.35 (which would make me late for my job). "What about the 6.55?" I asked. "Too late for that" he told me. The time then was 6.10. I went into the secure area with my boarding pass and got to the travel service counter and asked about the 6.55 fligt. The nice lady there (also SK) told me it was full, but would I try for standby - sure. I made the flight!

On my recent flight to the US one of the FA's (a man again, somehow the women are nicer) asked rather hard where I was sitting when I asked where I could put my jacket. When he found out that I was in C it seemed to change him some.

But overall: quite nice treatment really.
