For Flyers…

1. Don’t Work Yourself Up

It’s easy to get stressed about the idea of going on a flight, before you’ve even had to go through with it. This pre-stress can make it seem like every little problem is a big one, which isn’t what you want. Instead, just be positive and confident that your flight is going to go perfectly. You are a negativity free zone.

2. Avoid Long Stop-Overs

There’s nothing worse when you’re hauling kids from one place to another via plane then to have to stop somewhere for a really long time in the middle. There’s a sweet spot to this. Too little time between flights and you risk having to run for the next one, too long and your kids go crazy. Think about your kids when you’re booking, and be realistic instead of optimistic.

3. Keep An Emergency Delay Kit

You don’t want to be carrying too much with you when you board the plane, but it’s important to have what we call an Emergency Delay Kit. Basically, this is a change of clothes, a toothbrush, a washcloth, and more than enough nappies to deal with an unexpected delay. You’re welcome.

4. Bring Snacks And Toys

We aren’t advocating that you force feed your child for the duration of your flight, or pack bags full of toys, but these do make a difference on the flight. The key is to pack up a bag with things to do and munch on, and then introduce them slowly throughout the flight, to keep them interested.
