I'm 16 and need to fly from Toronto to Calgary, do i need parental consent to

[Nicole Leigh]

do this?should i use greyhound? Please don't ask why specifically, i don't want to get into a long story but, if use a friend's credit card to purchase the ticket will i need any kind of letter of consent or will i just be able to get on my flight as per usual?
(westjet, air canada)
Also, am i able to book with a debit card, or is it just credit?

I know this is all possible (and cheaper) with greyhound canada, but the trip is 2 days long (cumbersome) and im so nervous for the trip because of the danger and fear of being in a scary situation or getting my things stolen.
any advice for travelling at my age would be appreciated
i can't use VIArail because they only go to Edmonton, not Calgary, so i'd have to pay for a bus ticket to Calgary anyway.

No, you don't need parental consent. You can either fly or take the bus. If you use a friend's credit card, the friend had better be with you as the boarding pass or ticket will be issued in the friend's name unless s/he is there to authorize it in your name. You can use a debit card if you have one.
