Handling a kid during travel is very difficult and different, especially if the kid is very young. Many airline companies take the information in an advance when booking the ticket to organize the seating accordingly. If you notice, you need to mention the age of the child traveling with you when you book airline tickets. Here are some instructions to make your journey with kids easier, comfortable and pleasant-
- Go through every single checkpoint at the airport. All children, irrespective of their age, are required to go through the checkpoints for security reasons.
- Many airlines ask travelers with young children to board first. It is recommended because you likely have things to keep and manage in the compartment. If you board first, you’ll get ample time to manage yourself and your kid properly, which is not possible with the traffic.
- Keep your kid engaged. Young kids tend to get bored soon so provide entertainment for your children. Airline companies allow a portable DVD players and music players on board so don’t forget to keep them in your bag
- If you’re traveling with a very young child or infant, bring their food with you. You can ask a flight crew to warm it up.
- Try to schedule your flight around the bed time of your kid because you can travel easily with a sleeping baby.
- Put some new toys in your bag. Your kid will be entertained for a long period with a new toy as he/she is playing with that for first time.
- Be a little wise when choosing the seat. Most of the passengers prefer to sit close to the front of the flight. Book your seat for the very last row on the flight so that your child will get extra space to play.
- Be ready to face dirty looks from your co-passengers on your flight. Don’t feel bad or guilty.
