Precious Cargo Aboard...Traveling with kids? Here are some tips.

Family vacations are a time to slow down our busy lives and create memories for a lifetime. But air travel with children can sometimes throw a wrench into the fun. Don’t spoil event- be prepared with these helpful tips from a (Mom/Dad) that’s been there, done that.

 

Schedule flights for the morning. Likely hood for these to be delayed are slim. Plus, your little energizer bunny will be ready to take his or her nap once on board. If you can’t leave in the morning, try to schedule the flight around your child’s naptime.

 

Shoot for direct flights. My daughter's adventures include 12, 7 and 3 hour flights. She's been traveling since she was 5 months old and now she is six. Quit a traveler! She's used to sleep during almost te entire flight!

 

Get there early if your little one is walking. Let them burn off some energy. Plus, they won’t feel too restricted if they were mobile before getting on the plane.

 

Security checkpoint- go through the family line. This is usually the same line as used by airline security. Also, follow the TSA guidelines for liquids and other essentials and you’ll be golden. Check it out: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children.
