Travelling by plane with children

Let’s talk about travelling by plain with children.

1. Accept the fact that travelling with children cannot be as relaxing as travelling alone. If before you could have spent the whole time reading your favourite book or watching a movie, now when you have children travelling will be rather hard work. But accepting this fact is a half way to a successful journey.
2. Be prepared. Take enough snacks and small games. Remember, children usually get easily distracted and cannot concentrate for a long time on 1 particular game. It would be really nice to have a variety of activities.
3. If your child wants to sleep, let him sleep even if the time is not appropriate to his ususal schedule and you worry that the rest of the day will be spoiled. Do not worry. If you go back to your routine as soon as you land, one time deviation from schedule should not cause any serious problems.
