Perfect Flying With Kids In 9 Steps!
You don't have to be a frequent flyer to travel with children successfully! With these quick tips and strategic plans of action you can make any trip with kids a manageable and fun one.
1.
Use Technology.
Utilizing the technology provided on the plane or bringing your own can only help a flight! Whether you disapprove watching tv at home or not, a convenient cartoon can be great help at 50,000 feet.
2.
Only one carry on.
Since managing a little one is already hard enough, save yourself the trouble and only bring one carry on! You might want to have them bring their own little backpack with their favorite toys that way they have something to keep track of and responsibilities at the airport.
3.
Gum.
It's an oldie but goody; chewing gum will help with ears popping while flying and for first time flyers this is pretty important to reduce the annoyance.
4.
Pack the mom bag.
Make sure you bring your fully equip bottomless mom bag with you.
Don't forget the essentials; baby wipes, snacks, entertainment, and of course toys! 5.
A bag of their own.
Especially when traveling for the first time make sure the child has luggage of their own.
Get the child involved when picking it out; choose a site that personalizes luggage to really get them into it! 6.
PJ's work too.
While airplanes may not the most comfortable thing for us, a smooth and comfy journey for kiddos is important.
Let them wear pajamas to be comfortable enough to last a couple hours sitting in.
7.
Pack Snacks.
A bag of nuts is nice and all but some fruits and veggies much further.
You are trapped in a flying tube for several hours, no need to add a cranky hungry little kid.
8.
Say HI.
While everyone is getting settled before takeoff introduce yourselves to those around you.
Let the kiddo say Hi to everyone just make sure that they give everyone their space once settled in.
9.
Consideration.
If you know your little one will be loud or cranky bring with you a pack of ear plugs and kindly offer them to those around you who may get bothered.
No need for everyone to catch a bad mood too! It's time to book a flight and start packing, now that you know all the tricks and tips to traveling with kids.
