Question

Any advice for taking a 9 hour plane ride with a 5 & 3 year old?

Answer 1

Keep them awake for a long time before the flight.  Games and stories are good.  If they have a favourite soft toy, bring it.

Answer 2

Bring goody bags - earplugs, alcohol, sedatives and apologies  - one for every other passenger on the plane!

Answer 3

i wrapped small presents up and gave them to my 4 year old daughter during the 10 hour flight we went on (was her first flight and it went well and kept her occupied!)

Answer 4

I hope your husband is going with you or just forget it. Plenty of snacks and small games. But hope that the plane has separate TV screens for each occupant.

Answer 5

Try to fly in the evening when they are more prone to sleep.
