Flying with kids

Started by Amy , author of My Riddles 3 5/9/2010 9:47:27 PM

Ok, everyone, I really need some help.  We have an upcoming 1 hour 20 minute flight, then a 6 hour layover, and another 14 1/2 hour flight, and I need all the tips, tricks, and ideas available to help me not go gray!  I have a 5 year old, a 3 year old and a 9 month old.  Luckily, my suitcases and 1 carseat will be checked all the way through, so I don't have to worry about those until the end.  I have picked up a few small things at the dollar store for them to be surprised with during the flight, so does anyone have any other suggestions?

Anything is very much appreciated! :)

Hadn't really thought of how, no.  I figure they will be tired, because I know when we leave at 230 in the morning to get to the airport, they will probably stay awake.  I'm trying to stay away from medicating them, just cause it usually backfires on me with my kids.  Makes them hyper, and that is definitely NOT what I need when I'm stuck in the air! lol  :)

oh oh oh lol get a 2 disposible cameras and give it to the kids and tell them to take lots and lots and lots of pics for their grandparents. out the windows and at the airport and make sure you give them a photo album of their own and tell them that it is for their pics of traveling the world. and there are these cool little coloring packages in the coloring section that only color on the paper and come in princess and tinkerbell and poor bear and something else and there are a few others there lol they are wonderful
