I'm sure others have done this, so I figured the community might be the best place to post this: So I'm going to be flying to PHX from SFO with a stop in BUR to drop my 6 year old daughter with her grandparents for the weekend. The trip out will be a breeze... land in Burbank, walk with her to the "point of no return," watch her greet the grandparents and head back to the gate for the next leg of the flight. The trip home, on the other hand, has me a little perplexed. When I booked, I figured I could just get off the first plane and meet her on the "safe" side of the security checkpoint while the grandparents watch from the sidelines... But with only a 40 minute layover, I'm not convinced this will be possible. Does anyone know whether I'd have to go through the unaccompanied minor process (and pay the fee) to make this work? Or can her grandfather accompany her through security and meet us on the other side? Is 40 minutes enough time to go with the original plan? One last bit: does anyone know if SWA waits for the connecting plane? (I've had plenty of delayed flights with American that resulted in changed connecting flights.) Thanks! Maybe your answers will help others as well.
