I can understand why the airlines/airports are still trying to find a good solution for parents who insist on their minor children flying alone. Missed connections and delayed flights are common. I'm glad people gave you food, most people are kind when they have a chance. Can't help but wonder.....Why did your parent have you and your sister flying without money for emergencies? What did your parents say about you and your sister going home with a stranger if there was no night flight?
