Air Travel

- Discuss the security clearance process with your children so they will not be fightened or surprised. Don't travel with toys that could be mistaken for weapons. If you have photo IDs for your children, bring them. Put all your IDs, credit card, and tickets in the EasyTravelAir Security Pouch before leaving home for the airport.

Airline Food Maybe Not for Kids?

- When traveling with children on a plane, try to pack some food they like in a carry on bag. They tend to be a little picky about what they're serving on the plane.

Airlines and Families

- Try to chose an airline that is kid friendly! Some airlines, even the discount carriers, cater to families. For more information visit http://www.familyvacationcritics.com.

Airplane Advice

- Pack some finger foods, like fruit, pretzels and cereal for your children to enjoy during the flight. These items might help them adjust to in-cabin pressure changes. For younger children, try using bottles, 'sippy cups' or pacifiers to help ease inner ear pressure. For older children, chewing gum can serve the same purpose.

Airplane Bag-O-Tricks

- When packing your 'bag-o-tricks' for an airplane trip with kids, think 'versatility'. I like to travel light with things that can be used in more than one way. My favorites are:

A pad of unlined, white stationery - use for drawing, paper airplanes, fans, and other origami projects
Crayola WATERCOLOR pencils - These don't melt like crayons and, when dipped in a cup of water, can be used as face paint (dries quickly, doesn't smear, easily removed with water or baby wipe). I once pulled them out during an airport delay and ended up with a line of kids waiting to get their faces painted (not to mention several grateful parents!).
A set of 20(+/-) plastic 'links' - unlimited uses. Some are: hook onto child's belt loop in a crowd, stretch between 2 people and have a limbo contest while waiting to board the plane; hang baby's toys so they don't drop on dirty floors; use as fasteners on luggage for name tags or jacket holders; and ...
One or 2 favorite 'beanies' - I can't begin to tell you the many adventures of 'Mickey' when he's accompanied us on our trips; great storytelling opportunities plus a wonderful ice-breaker for new friends!
