What problems may children
have with security? |
|
Don't let your child
bring any toy guns, even an obviously fake
souvenir pioneer's musket. They probably
won't be allowed through security. You'll
have to put them in with your checked
luggage, all the way back at the counter
with the long lines.

When should I board the
plane? |
|
If you are traveling
with two adults, have one board first with
all the carry-on bags and get everything
situated while the other waits off the plane
with the child. The other adult can then
board later with the child to minimize the
child's waiting time before take off.

How can I make my child's
flight more comfortable? |
|
-
Grab a blanket and
pillow as soon as you get on the plane since
they tend to go fast and may run out by the
time you need one.
-
Even if they can sit
on your lap for free, consider buying them
their own seat. You'll both be more
comfortable. If you are not sure if it's
worth the money, try it out at home. How
easy is it for your child to sit on your lap
for the same amount of time they will need
to on the plane?
-
Request a child's
meal when you make your reservation.
-
Ask the flight
attendant to feed your child first.
-
Take a little bathroom
break and stretch those legs. Remind your
child that you can't always go to the
bathroom when you need to on a plane.
Explain that the seat belt sign could come
on anytime and then everyone has to stay in
their seats.
