NONSENSE. The FAR says nothing about traveling children under 15
On some airlines, kids under 15 can even fly alone. I believe the age on WN is 13.
It states:
"(i) A condition or responsibilities, such as caring for small children, that might prevent the person from performing one or more of the applicable functions listed in paragraph (d) of this section"
If the child is old enough to be sitting alone, I don't think this is an issue.
