  • Inexpensive Camera

  • - Buy an inexpensive camera (with flash) for children old enough to use it. The trip is then photographed from the child's prospective. My daughter absolutely adores doing this. She then creates a memory book with her photos.

  • Keep Clean and Hydrated on the Plane

  • - When travelling with children, be sure to pack a change of clothes for yourself. Time and again my children have spilled sticky drinks all over me on the plane and I was glad I had thought to bring extra clothes for myself! Also it helps to premake airsickness bags at home as the ones the airlines provide are not always there. Another tip - put some cold drinks such as Capri Sun or juice boxes in your carry-on. If your child is thirsty and it will be a while for the drink steward to come down the isle, you will be glad you have them.

  • Keep Individual Control of Kids in the Airport

  • - Never hand a child to a fellow passenger or traveler while you go through airport security. Walk through with your children yourself.

  • Keep it Small

  • - Do yourself a favor and try to travel with items that can fold up. It just makes everything easier for you, no matter what way you travel or where you go. When you travel by air with kids, everything has to be screened. This means that it must go through the x-ray machines or be visually inspected.

  • Keeping the Kids Comfortable

  • - When my son was little, just before heading on a drive we would fill his sippy cup with ice cubes, and put in about 1/2 inch of water. This kept him getting sips of water for the whole trip, and prevented any major spills from happening. Also, in a carseat, a child's little 'sit-bones' tend to get sore very quickly. A gel-pad that you can get at a bicycle shop will make the journey much more pleasant for everyone.
