Top tips to make airplane journey more comfortable with children.

  1. Make sure that your airlines possesses things like booking bassinets for long haul flights and book it in advance. Like wise you can take a car seat on board, it will be more comfortable for the children.
  2. Prefer non-stop flights if it is available. It is good to book non-stop flights while travelling with children especially toddlers. If we have to wait for the connection flight, your children must not have the patience to wait for such a long time. Then you should find a deserted spot and allow your baby to run in circles, make noises and relish his freedom for as long as he can.
  3. Check the varieties of food available and also check the time schedule to be served. It is good to keep some snacks ( If it is allowed ) then you can feed your children whenever they wanted.
  4. For entertainment, toys like car, small dollies etc can be taken. Remember to choose silent toys. Stickers are a great enjoyment for young toddlers. For young children, you can keep some story books or a DVD played on a laptop with headphones but it should be charged fully before you enter the flight. Take coloring books and crayons for them.
  5. Pack one small bag having all the essential things that your child needs. Make sure it has enough formula for one bottle, one diaper, wipes and a toy that your child likes the most.
  6. Always keep an extra pair of dress as there is the possibility to vomit while you travel.
  7. Keep some extra plastic bag for soiled clothing and throwing away unwanted food and trash during the flight.
  8. Seats to be selected. Try to get the seats closest to the front. The first row of seats are the widest , it will give them a little more space.
