"Dream - School holidays are definitely awaited by children to meet their cousins and siblings to play all day long. They have already imagined being on vacation and playing all day."

It turns out that sometimes parents cannot accompany due to work reasons or other matters. This is also experienced by Sheila Akmal, the owner of the Instagram @sheilaakmal.

"During this holiday, he initially planned to return to Aceh, his hometown, following the wishes of his son who wanted to play with his cousin."

"Fatih is already excited because our plan was to go back together to Aceh (mom, younger sibling, and brother), but due to various reasons, we canceled the plan. Finally, after considering everything, we gave Fatih 2 options: a vacation in Jakarta while sightseeing and staying at a hotel, or going back alone by being checked in on the flight. Fatih still insisted on wanting to vacation in Aceh," wrote the mother in a video uploaded on Instagram. Finally, after careful consideration and asking many people who have 'checked in' with the airline for solo flights, they decided to take the plunge."

"Sheila also shared her experience of letting her child fly alone for the first time at the age of years to Aceh, using one of the airlines."

Here is the translation of the provided text while preserving the HTML tags: "For tickets, they must be purchased directly and cannot be done online because there are several pieces of data that need to be verified in person for security. Sheila  at that time purchased a ticket for Garuda Indonesia airline directly at one of the malls in Jakarta. When buying the ticket, the name of the child's escort and their data must be included. There is also an additional fee for accompanying during the journey.  The cost depends on the type of flight."

"On the day of the flight, the son was very happy. Meanwhile, the mother was quite worried, because it was the child's first time flying alone. For this check, there is a special counter called "Special Needs Assistance"."

"Parents are still accompanying during this check, placing the luggage and having the child wear a special necklace by the staff. They then head to the gate while being accompanied by the staff."

"After being given a Fatih necklace for a selfie by the airport staff (maybe it's the staff's SOP), we then walked to the boarding gate. Upon reaching the gate, the parents could not enter and would continue to be accompanied," wrote the mother. The son then entered the plane via the priority lane. While on the plane, the child was under the supervision of the flight attendants."

"Through WhatsApp, the mother then received a report that her son was already on the plane and accompanied by a flight attendant."

Upon arriving in Aceh, his son was immediately picked up by the officers and was accompanied until the baggage claim. The grandfather, who was listed in the pickup data, was already waiting. Before retrieving the baggage and being picked up by his grandfather, data verification was first conducted, which involved showing an ID card and signing to match the data, followed by a photo with the pickup person and the officers.

"Sheila's experience may be a consideration for parents who want to train their children to fly alone. Each airline usually offers this service but with an additional cost. Interested?"
