TRAVEL TIPS
Family
Travel - Flying
 |
Reserve a nonstop flight. If that's not possible, go
direct. Pay the extra money if you can afford it.
Waking a sleeping baby/child should be avoided if
possible.
|
 |
Take a night flight. Hopefully, the children will
sleep for most of the flight.
|
 |
Buy a seat for your baby. It's worth the extra
price. Children under the age of two, or weighing
less than 40 pounds, should be securely fastened in
child restraint seats when flying. Children have
been seriously injured by turbulence.
|
 |
Make sure your car seat has an FAA approved label.
Then, confirm with the airline that you can use that
particular safety seat on board the aircraft.
|
 |
Select your seats ahead of time if possible. If it
is just you and a child, book an aisle seat for easy
access to bathrooms and walking areas.
|
 |
Beware of bulkhead seats. While they do allow more
leg room, there is not storage under the seats. This
means more visits to the overhead bin. Also,
immobile armrests prevent a tired child from leaning
on mom or dad.
|
 |
If you are going to be a single traveler with twins
or more than one baby, check with the airlines ahead
of time. Many airlines do not permit one adult to
travel with two infants.
|
 |
Bring backpacks. These are good storage for toys,
water bottles and snacks that your kids help to
select. The children can carry them too.
|
 |
Always bring an extra outfit for your baby.
|
 |
Get to the gate early. Take advantage of
pre-boarding for passengers traveling with children.
|
 |
Try to avoid any salty or dry snacks before the
flight. These snacks lead to consuming liquids.
Children who consume a lot of liquids tend to need
to use the restrooms just as the "seat belt" sign is
displayed.
|
 |
Give your infant or toddler a bottle or sippie cup
during takeoff and landing. This releases ear
pressure. Older children can use gum or hard candy.
|
 |
If your child becomes sick with a cold before your
flight, contact the pediatrician before you leave.
They can recommend an over the counter medicine that
may help with the ear pressure of takeoff and
landings.
|
 |
Always bring more snacks, water, milk and formula
than you think you need.
|
 |
Allow your child to bring a blanket or toy they are
attached to as carry-on luggage.
|
 |
Always remain calm and keep a sense of humor for the
children's sake. |
