DEAR ABBY: You printed a letter from a woman asking questions about her grandchild traveling unattended on an airplane to visit her.
You might be interested to know that the American Automobile Association has prepared a brochure addressing this situation. It's titled "Flying Alone: Handy Advice for Kids Traveling Solo." Parents interested in obtaining a free copy of the informative brochure should send a long, business-sized (No. 10), self-addressed, stamped envelope to: AAA, Flying Alone -- MS75, 1000 AAA Drive, Heathrow, Fla. 32746. -- JERRY CHESKE, DIRECTOR, PUBLIC RELATIONS, AAA NATIONAL OFFICE, HEATHROW, FLA.
DEAR MR. CHESKE: I think the little booklet is a dandy for any parent who is contemplating sending an unaccompanied child anywhere by air. It gives helpful tips about what to expect at the airport, lists the various age restrictions for unaccompanied minors, and offers suggestions concerning what to say and do prior to the child boarding the plane. Thanks for letting my readers know it's available. And the price is right -- it's free!
