Advice to parents flying with children
Be calm. Travel with kids is typically much more stressful for parents than it is for the children! So, the bottom line here is to keep your wits about you. Your kid(s) may scream on the airplane or kick the seat in front of them. People might stare especially those without children or business people trying to work. Keep in mind that you paid your fareand the last time we checked the airlines did not make any rules that prohibit children on planes.
Politely ignore these people and breathe. It is always nice when you are surrounded by other parents with or without their children. They understand what you are going through and sometimes are willing to lend a hand. Don't be afraid to ask! If you have quiet moments (if you can get your children to sleep), use this time to read a few pages of your favorite magazine or watch a movie. Relax, you will get through it in flying colors.
Be safe. There is nothing more important. The key to safety during air travelwith kids is proper restraints during takeoff, landings, and during turbulence. Be sure to follow the instructions of the flightcrew and adhere to the seat belt signs at all times. Take time to read the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) brochure on child safety while flying.
