Yeah my son has my name and when his mum took him to Morocco I gave her one of these letters just incase they asked.
It's an airline company website. The info is probably right, but maybe OP did research it, but their source - whatever it was - steered them wrong.
the regulations regarding minors are relatively new, so maybe the op had been before and none of this was needed, or he saw a different source lacking proper info or he's just really inexperienced.
either way, mistakes happen.
Hopefully op can get it sorted.
Travel insurance is generally bullshit as far as what they cover, if the ones I've looked at are any indication
America is a country that was built off slavery. Should I not visit America as well?
Come on. You can visit a country enjoying it without supporting the government running it. It's how I visit a land run by an orange freak who is ruining the world right now.
sis went to cuba and iran and got in the us no problems with stamps.
Errrr... yeah, mate. Presumably you're one of those people who think that criticism of Israel (the government) means that you're an anti-semite.
I wouldn't visit Israel either.
And if it makes you feel any better, I also wouldn't consider travelling to Australia since it's a bit too right wing for me and its treatment of the aboriginal population and asylum seekers is obscene (amongst other shitey things).
The hypocrisy in this thread is incredible. I assume most here are either from US or UK. Both run by racist xenophobic governments right now voted by the people (which makes a lot of those people racist and xenophobic). Both countries that were built on top of slavery or raping other countries of their resources via "colonialism".
I certainly would advise people not to travel to England.
Shitehole.
Absolutely yes to those questions. But I would be terrified to visit Europe as well. It's bad enough going to a part of town I'm not familiar with travelling to another country with different laws and customs would give me a heart attack. Not to mention things like in the movie hostel and the fact that I look like a typical American I'd be terrified everyone would be trying to poison me or rob me at least. Plus I've never even been inside an airport and the whole ordeal seems not worth it.
See above.
I felt the same way reading through the thread. I wouldn't go to Dubai but it's fine if people would like to. I am not a fan of Putin or his policies but I went to Russia, I cant point fingers to anyone.
I mean it's already happening since a few months. Tourism is down in America in every region.
Edit: Except for Canada - I wonder why?
I have traveled to countries such as UAE, China, Thailand, etc. I've never been more concerned about my safety than when I've been in certain areas in the US. Most other countries are very safe.
You Americans really need to get out more.

These feelings are very unhealthy. Are you diagnosed with a mental illness?
I don't want to beat you up too bad over this but....
Word of advice from someone who has been there, don't EVER plan an expensive vacation if you have young children or sick and elderly parents without buying travel insurance.

I'd be less worried about going to Dubai than to Russia, for sure.
Everyone wants to get that joke post that gets quoted by everyone.
Yes, people travel to experience a new culture and meet new people. To see new sights and contextualize history. Not to support a government. This board is obsessed with using their money to "support" someone. Developers, companies, governments...
Just donate to charity if you want your money to go somewhere noble.
Er what. You wouldn't travel abroad at all? Nowhere? Like I can understand the fears you may have around visiting 'the middle east', but Europe? Australia? Asia?
No way. Not unless I absolutely had to. I don't even like leaving my city.
I'm serious.
Why would you be worried about going to Russia? I went there, never felt like I was in danger or anything.
You think if you go to Europe you will be abducted and thrown into a murder hotel?
Sure. But you do realize that Russian intelligence recorded your every move, stay and calls right? Maybe even inside your hotel room.
Nah, it's more having to worry about the language barrier depending on what city I went to and if I didn't go with someone who knows the language. I wouldn't think it was unsafe in general, but just relative to Dubai.
One reason would be the homophobic laws in Russia, but I wouldn't be surprised if Dubai had something similar.
And most of the time it's just idiotic because they almost always unknowingly support something or someone who's 'bad'.
You'd starve to death if you were to only support ethical companies and things, unless you grow your own food and water, but then maybe you're an asshole as well so that don't work either. It's ridiculous.
Your fear is not rational. You need to get over it for the sake of your children.
You would be fine. At least in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The language barriers are not as bad as you might think. Google maps works perfectly in all cases. The subway system covers the entire cities. You can get an unlimited data SIM chip for 5 bucks a month. Etc.
The West has a very restricted view of Russia still, in 2019. It's crazy.
The stance of Russia's government on homosexuality is deplorable. But in the day to day? Even in normal bars/clubs no one will bat an eye at a gay couple. Younger generation is more open and liberal.
At least in the US I can understand the language and be a little more aware of the dangers around me. For example, if I leave the city I know there are redhats that will hate me or want to kill me because I'm not white. In another country I I'm as in tune with what is up and wouldn't know local roads to get to the police or to just get to safety. Hell, the police in other countries would probably try to fuck me because I'm a tourist and a stupid American. And what If I got hurt or in an accident? I don't know how laws or insurance works over there. It would be too stressful.
Edit: My wife wants us to go to Poland to see her family but fuck that. They are too alt right now.

I guarantee that defending a city from a stereotype by using another stereotype is asinine. Chicago has over 50 million tourists a year.
Beyond that, maybe some people don't want to go to Dubai because they have the death penalty for such crimes as apostasy, homosexual activity and blasphemy.
I'm lucky to own two passports so depending on where I fly too I'll use one or the other
That's not true for the UAE at all. You're probably thinking of Saudi Arabia, the country the OP is living in.
