5 Tips for Flying with Your Kids
2
  • Travelling with kids can be hectic at best,
    especially if youre travelling abroad or via
    plane. That said, planning and preparing well can
    reduce this stress and make your flying
    experiences more pleasant. Below are five tips to
    help make flying with kids easier - and even fun!

3
Stay as Calm as Possible
  • Travelling (particularly flying) can make
    children cranky, which will most likely lead to
    whining and crying. As the parent, its your job
    to try to keep the situation under control, and
    this is only possible if you remain calm and
    patient.

4
  • Empathize with your child by understanding
    that long trips are frustrating and tiresome, but
    also empathize with the other passengers who may
    become annoyed by a very disruptive child. Be
    patient as you attempt to calm your child,
    because aggravation will only aggravate the child
    and could cause them to cry louder.

5
Bring Toys, Games and Surprises
  • Games and toys are a great way to keep your
    children occupied, peaceful and manageable during
    a flight. It's also a good idea to engage them by
    participating in their games and even providing
    little surprise gifts.

6
  • Kids love receiving and unwrapping surprises.
    You can use this to your advantage by providing
    wrapped toys and games. These surprises will
    effectively keep their attention, make them
    excited and prevent boredom. Boredom can lead to
    mischief!

7
Use Training Pants for Little Kids
  • During a flight, training pants are usually
    the best option for toddlers. This will be less
    stressful for you, as you wont need to make
    continuous trips to the tiny bathroom to avoid an
    in-seat accident.

8
Prepare for the Air Pressure
  • Before your flight, stock up on water for your
    children. This is necessary in case of flight
    delay and will help with the pressure during the
    flight, especially during the descent when the
    pressure causes the most ear discomfort.

9
  • This pressure and discomfort is also a reason
    why many children cry during flights. The
    discomfort can be eased by proper hydration and
    swallowing. Children should drink water during
    the flight as well as the last 30 to 45 minutes
    of the descent.

10
Fly Early in the Day
  • Early starts to the day usually mean tired
    children. So, the earlier you fly, the more
    likely it will be that your children will want to
    take a nap during the flight.

11
  • Besides that, early flights are the best way
    to avoid delays at takeoff and landing, which are
    often the source of even more irritation and
    tension. These flights are also inherently less
    crowded. Just be sure youre completely prepared.

12
  • If youre travelling abroad, remember to pack
    the kids passports, even if you have a baby.
    Children and babies need passports to travel
    internationally, just like adults.

13
  • If you live in the Edmonton area and you're
    wondering where to get passport photos for babies
    or anyone else in the family, visit us at
