Southwest Airlines is under fire today after three unaccompanied kids from Florida – ages 15, 13 and 11 – bought tickets from the airline and flew to Nashville, Tennessee - all without their parents ever knowing. The ambitious trio of travelers called their parents upon arriving in Nashville and immediately flew home. No one was hurt and Southwest is claiming that the children did not break any policies (adding that they would refund the ticket costs), but the whole incident has unsurprisingly kicked up an uproar. If you were the parents of these ambitious globe-trotters, how would you have handled the invariably awkward discussion upon touchdown? Watch the video and answer in the comments section below.
