Flying with Kids Without Killing Yourself (or Them)
the aisle of the airplane, other passengers groan. Whether it is audible or
not, you have probably witnessed it or been guilty of doing it, too. Some
parents are just not equipped for air travel with their little ones. It doesn’t
make them bad people, just unprepared ones. Kids are not as patient as adults,
nor do they understand why they have to sit when there are so many other things
they could be doing and they can get bored very easily. Let’s face it. Sitting
in a chair for hours is boring. Save money and sanity when traveling with kids
by keeping them busy and making travel fun.
them pack their own bag. When you go anywhere, you probably let
your kid(s) pick a few things they can’t live without. As long as it can be
reasonably packed and will make it through security, don’t worry if they want
to bring 32 miniature cars or their favorite doll or even their pillow. If it
makes them comfortable, it will help them be a better traveler. You could pack
their clothing in your carry-on and have them bring their “busy-time” stuff in
a backpack or teach them responsible travel and buy them their very own
carry-on bag that they can use. They’ll feel like a grown-up when they pull
their little wheelie case behind them through the airport and you’ll save on
baggage fees. Plus, by having them carry their own belongings, they might learn
to pack lighter.
snacks. Kids always want to eat when it’s least convenient. They
don’t want to wait for the snack cart to come around and, to be honest, neither
do we. Pack some handy munchables in your bag to curb hunger and make them happy
while you have to sit in your seat with your tray tables locked. Make sure to
buy some bottles of water or juice before you board the plane, too. By packing
your own goodies, you can control what your kids eat and won’t have to shell
out more money for the spendy snack packs they sell on planes.
in a footrest.Skyrest.com makes
the perfect footrest for children. Okay, it’s really a resting pillow for
sleeping or reading, but for little legs that fall asleep from not being able
to reach the floor, it makes the perfect airplane ottoman. Nobody likes being
kicked in the back for a whole flight and when kids have tingly legs, they are
going to flail about. These inflatable rests have removable covers, too, so you
can remove it before the flight to keep it from getting dirty from the floor
and feet.
really early or really late. If your child is on a regular
sleeping schedule, see if you can book a flight that will coincide with it and
they may just conk out the entire flight. We used to fly the Red Eye often and
sleep on the plane overnight and wake up in our destination. While these seem
to be few and far between – or even non-existent – now, you can certainly try
to find an available flight that is super early in the morning or even later in
the evening. These flights are usually undesirable, which makes them cheaper
than the same flight in the middle of the day.
cake, or even inexpensive, but certainly you can make the journey easier on
both of you. Keeping a regular schedule is key, so make sure you bring a meal
onboard if they are used to eating at the time you will be traveling, or make
them comfy enough to take a nap if they need one. Otherwise, just pack the
tools you require to entertain them. You will make your little ones think
travel is awesome and you’ll avoid those dirty looks from other passengers if they
don’t start freaking out and throwing a temper tantrum. Of course, sometimes
you just can’t predict what will happen, only try to make travel seem like a
great big adventure. Which it is.
