View Full Version : 14 year old minors travelling solo...urgent advice please! only one day left! please!

:sl:
some of you will most probably know that i'm travelling to the uk and in mid-way meet my grandpa and we'll travel together to our final destination. i.e swansea.

so that means i'm travelling alone from islamabad (in pakistan) to southampton, with a layover at paris. all on my own...and thats sounds scary...

i know there are people under my age who travel solo but trust me this is my second international flight ever! infact my second time travelling by air! and more than ( or almost) one third of it is solo!

do you have any good advice? any good dua i should recite? any travel guidelines? do i have to follow some special rules( i mean not the ones my family has to, for me)? and i'm a bit scared and nervous so any thing to overcome that?
and wait.. do i count as those minors...i mean it says minors travelling solo are in ages ranging from 7-14 and for some airlines 15. but the airlines i'm travelling in says 14...and i'm 14 so do i count as a minor or are minors above 14 not 14..or like under it??
how do i keep record of my timings for prayers? i know that sounds stupid but as i said, i haven't travelled much ...last time it was a direct flight from swansea to london( and i didn't have to pray while flying) and then straight away peshawer( and they told us the prayer timings at that time) but this time its quite confusing...can someone explain?

and yes, pray for me!

and i have only one day left, after which..maybe i'm not here anymore for awhile or maybe forever...maybe i die...so anyone wants to talk? here:http://www.islamicboard.com/groups/talk-to-me-.html

Tell the flight attendant that you are travelling alone. Then she/he will guard you. Then after you land on UK, phone your family to pick you up in airport. Don't leave airport before they come.

Also you are excused in terms of prayer. You can pray Asr and Dhur together and just pray the current prayer that is where you are at the moment. Don't stress out.

You can perform salah while sitting in plane.

Here a video about salah on vehicle. It's in Indonesian language, but you can notice how the salah performed.

Assalamu alaykum

Sis, travelling alone is not so frightening really. Make lots of duas and supplications, and definitely tell the flight attendant that you are traveling alone, take a good book with you to read to keep yourself occupied (could always revise for exams, I suppose). And when travelling then yes the dhuhr and asr prayers can be combined inshaAllah.

Keep in mind the general rules of safety, avoid speaking too much to strangers you do not know, keep yourself to yourself, watch over any belongings you have with you carefully and do not leave the airport until a family member comes to collect you.

Have a safe journey, may Allah SWT protect you. Ameen.

Hey, I would be scared to make that flight alone, too. And I'm an adult and not facing an illness. I will pray for you. And remember, there are no friends and family traveling with you, but you are NOT truly alone, Allah goes with you and will guide you. God bless you, sweetie. I pray for you as if you were my own daughter.

Dear ramen,

Send one of the sisters here a pm with your real name, address, phone numbers, friends and relatives and anything else about you, that would help someone find you. Maybe your old address as well and a picture of yourself. Any details you know about your granddad and his brother.

Any idea of what time you will be in Southampton?

May Allah bless you with the strength to keep going.

thank you sooo much Mr.Eric for your concern.

i'll do it but i dont understand somethings...

1) which sister and why? i mean how is that going to help or what will she do
2) my grand dad does not live in england or uk so he himself doesn't have a phone number for now and as for the relatives, my mom gave me their phone number but i have never met or talked to them so i dont think it would be nice i give their phone number to some one.
3) i'm arriving at southampton at about 3 am...i dont think anybody can make up plus my grand dad will be there an hour before me and so will his brother...so i dont think i'll be needing anyone plus we have to leave asap
4) internet has never been that good for me..i dont think i can trust anyone with all those details unless i'm a 100% sure. i've already disclosed sooo much about me here

Dear ramen,

Just little things you have said, made me feel you might not feel safe with your granddad and his brother. I have been aware for a number of years, that young girls come into this country and disappear. If you were to give any sister any of your details, it would have to be a sister of YOUR choosing.

However you may feel I am panicking over nothing, if so then just please ignore me, and sorry if I am causing you any further stress.

Again, I am just so pleased for you that you tried to make up with your mum, sometimes these relationship problems can carry on for years, but they can get slightly better over time.

May Allah bless you with all the help you need.

Eric

I admit, I have been having my reservations recently.

If it can be confirmed that this is not duplicity, not anything to do with the fakerameen and spencer account business a while ago, then this is amazing and I'll support her every step of the way. But I think the mods do need to look into something as serious as this, what she has written in her posts suggests enough family abuse and possible negligence to get social services involved, particularly as she is adopted.

yes, we should be truthful before ourselves, but if you always think good of others (obv you should) but when does it border naivity?

Obv, thinking negative is no good. And who said being naive is bad anyway lol. but one has to be realistic, tho. I don't like being naive tho. :/

I agree. Also I think we shouldn´t discuss about such matter in the public forum. I prefer if mod would delete all posts from 31 to here? It is not very discreet to discuss whether a person is genuine or not. If someone likes to do so, PM to mod or admin is the right way. Not public forum.

If I look for the good in someone, then I hope to find something good, and when you find good, it is an opportunity to try and build. If I look for the bad in someone and find it, then what? I have found in life it is better to try and encourage something good to happen, rather than correct other people's faults.

This strategy will never make me rich.

But one should beware of the evil of someone. I mean, one should not try to find fault in someone, forcibly, or something. But it depends, I mean, If you only seek the good but ignore the bad.. you might entrench yourself in the bad, etc.

One has to recognise the bad and the good. But how one approaches / tries to correct that, should be with good ettiquette. In some cases, harshness is the tool, sometimes, kindness is.. Or both.

Obv, it only makes someone negative and pessimistic to search for bad qualities, and it isn't a good habit. But when one sees evil, one should not ignore it. Or bad stuff, etc.

I look at both the bad and the good, and then value and see whether the bad outweights the good, etc.
In shaa' Allah, you get what I mean.

Whatever people might think about ramen, she has made about 400 posts since March, then has gone silent for 10 days, this sounds out of character. Something does not seem right.

i had not been diagnosed with cancer... with a few tests ..well i have no idea how this diagnoses crap works and just..assumed i had cancer...cant believe i told everyone in school too and now i feel like dying .....

i only had esophageul varices. i got a ...something called TIPS operation...something like transjugular intraheptic..i forgot the rest nevermind... . it didn't work and then luckily i had a liver transplant, which went ok.. but maybe i develop side effects later.
