    .

  • Ear pressure during take-off and landing can cause a lot of pain. Help your child by providing them with gum or a chewy food.
    • .

  • Many flights no longer serve food, bring food and snacks. Ask about food serve when ordering the airline tickets.
    • .
  • Keep the kids occupied by bringing activities such as coloring books and cards.

    • .
  • Ask the airline attendant at the start of the flight for pillows and blankets. They run out quickly so ask right away even if you think you might not need them.
    • .
  • Stand up and walk around periodically with the kids, even if they don't quite need to stretch yet. This is great preventative medicine to avoid a possible melt down.

    Because if the kids are ready for a stretch and the fasten seat belt sign is on, that could cause frustration for the kids.
