Any advices for traveling on an international flight with a baby and a preschooler?

Question

I am wondering if anyone could give me an advice for traveling on an international flight with a baby and a preschooler? I am planning a trip to visit my family in Thailand at the beginning of next year. My children will be 3 years old, and 4 months old. It is scaring to think about being alone with 2 little ones on a 20 hours flight from US to Thailand. Please let me know. I need an advance suggestions to prepare. Which airline is the best for traveling with the children?

Answer 1

Not much advice I could give to you but my mom, we always

travelled when I was little and neither once she never lost sight of me. Our travels would last for at least four days but I never worried because moms always there for me.

I guess it's a maternal bond thing. Just believe in yourself.

Good luck!

Answer 2

bring some toys (noiseless ones would be very much appreciated by fellow flyers).  Try to time your babies feeding so that it is happening during take off.  Helps stop ears from popping and therefore no crying.

Bring books to read for them, snacks are good too.  you may want to bring a comfy pillow for your toddler as the ones on the plane aren't comfy.

20 hour is an insanely long flight for them. wow! good luck.  But just try to bring as many comforts of home and as many things to keep them amused as possible.  

Good luck!
