| Travel Tips For Families On The Go |
-
Try to avoid peak travel hours in the morning or early evening, when the plane is likely to be full. Putting up with the inconvenience of even a late-night flight may mean that there will be an extra seat for your child, as well as the possibility of more help from airline attendants.
-
Inquire whether a meal will be served. Some airlines offer special children's meals; request them when making reservations, or at least twenty-four hours before takeoff. If they don't have them, order a fruit plate which is always enjoyable. Keep in mind that all airline food is prepared by flight kitchens on the ground ahead of time. If you have a fussy eater, bring your own meal or snack.
-
Attach a luggage tag or I.D. bracelet to your toddler. Include name, destination, etc. Remember to list allergies or medical needs on the tag. At the very least, write your child's name and the address and phone number of your destination on a piece of paper and pin it to his or her clothing if you will be in any place where there is a chance for wandering.
-
Let your baby nurse or suck on a bottle or pacifier during takeoff and landing to reduce pressure on ears. A hungry child will suck more vigorously, so don't feed your baby just before you take off. Babies' sucking reflex can be activated by touching their lips, or having them suck on your finger. Do not allow your baby to sleep during the plane's descent.
