Our pure panic, I almost canceled my first long haul flight with my newborn. Finally, we were just fine, and has since continued to fly long haul and abroad with her. With preparation, you'll survive flying with children. Manage your stress levels during this time is critical. Here are 7 tips that will help you.
Get to the airport early . If killing time at the airport with a baby or small child sounds like torture, rushing through the security line and do not have enough time to respond to the needs of your child is up. Children can sense and react to stres.Što resulting temper tantrum may be slow. Allow yourself enough time to feed, diaper and move through security lines relaxed. If you have airline status or class of service permits use of the room is only worth getting to the airport early. Believe me, you'll appreciate the clean bathrooms, comfy sofa and plugs for electronic devices.
packaging wise . What do you carry-on is key. However, being able to access quickly it can be even more important. Make sure to separate the essential and note where they are in the bag (s). Lists can help prevent packing something in your checked bag that hindsight should be in hand. If you have more than one carry-on, a package with the basics that you keep under the seat in front of you or on your feet if you're into the bay. Remember that if you have a partition, you will not be able to store the bag at his feet during takeoff and landing.
Remember you need when the belt is a sign of the . There is nothing worse than need something to carry-on bag that is in the overhead compartment, you can not reach him. Again, make a list of things that will come in hand during takeoff and landing. Put them in the seat pockets around it for easy access. It helps to pack these items in the same area of your hand so you can whip out as fast as you're getting settled into the seats. Nerves can run wild during that time. You'll be less likely to forget that special toy, if you planned your needs in advance.

If you are flying with children, and a stopover, it is useful to know which terminal your plane to arrive so you can get an idea of what restaurants or kid-friendly activities can entertain young and at that time. Some airports may have wheelchairs you can borrow and other benefits that may surprise you. I had no idea that the Changi Airport in Singapore has a small children's play area and the Dallas airport is a very nice family locker rooms, for example.
Dress appropriately . Flying with kids is not the time to be fashion forward. Dress as practically as you can. Black and other very dark colors to hide the spit and spilled orange juice. If you're juggling a baby and yourself in a small airplane bathroom, elastic waist pants are your best bet. Also, do not forget to bring a change of clothes for yourself, especially if you're on a long haul flight. If you are in comfortable clothes, you are more likely to be able to relax.
Pack snacks . Put more snacks than you need. Young children can fight ear pressure munching on snacks during takeoff and landing. May you get stuck on the tarmac for longer than expected and experience prolonged turbulence caused by flight attendants to remain seated. Also, your child will not want to eat a meal carts, especially if you are on the side of the airline. Make snacks such as protein filled as you can to make children sit. Also, limit the sugar so it is not bouncing in their seats. If the appropriate age, lollipops can help calm meltdowns because kids love them and they take to eat.
Have fun while carts . Do not rely on air carts entertainment system to keep your child occupied. The older, smaller planes and the central TV screen that children can not really see. Some children also have problems with glare on the TV or with some aviation headsets. And, there simply can not be anything to offer your child cares about watching. Portable DVD players, iPads and phones with video capabilities will be your savior, but be sure to pair these items with kid-safe headphones so as not to disturb other passengers with volumen.Slušalica that can get on board usually do not fit young children. Bring toys to use during takeoff and landing, when the electronics must be turned off. Be sure to tell the kids to expect this time, so it's no surprise when they can not supply the DVD.
