Traveling with children is a different experience than flying solo, and a bit of planning goes a long way.
Booking Seats
Book as early as possible so your family can sit together, and check if the airline lets you select seats for free when traveling with a child under a certain age.
Timing Your Flight
Overnight or nap-time flights often work better for younger children, while older kids may do fine with any schedule. Avoid tight layovers when traveling with little ones.
What to Pack in the Cabin Bag
Snacks, a change of clothes, essential medicine, and a couple of familiar toys or a tablet loaded with shows can make a real difference on longer flights.
Documents to Carry
Children need their own passport and, in many cases, a birth certificate or consent letter if traveling with one parent - check the specific requirement for your destination before you fly.
