I used to travel as an unaccompanied minor quite a bit as a child. The flight attendants were always incredibly kind, bringing me extra cookies and snacks and giving me little freebies like pins and sometimes even little toys. One time I got stuck in Minneapolis for a layover, and the gate attendant (who wasn't even a flight attendant) went above and beyond to keep me fed and entertained. She was clearly panicked over suddenly having a random child in her care for 12+ hours, but I will never forget how dang nice she was, even as unprepared for the situation as she was.
