Question

Traveling with 3 and 4 year olds any ideas on flight entertainment 3hour flight right to 4hour flight?

Answer 1

On my last trip, which was to Taipei, Taiwan, i took my family, which includes my baby sister and brother (both under 6). We gave them a bit of nyquil just before take-off; they woke up but had plenty of things for them to enjoy during the flight. But, on other occasions, i have found that it is easier for them to be awake a long period of time before the flight, that way they sleep during. Compared to my flight to Taiwan from Managua, Nicaragua, a 3-hour flight is not much to worry about.

As others have mentioned, we had snacks, DS Lite, PSP, many games for both in case they get bored of one, and some coloring books, which they always provide on the plane when you ask a stewardes.

Answer 2

Videos games and music are the best ideas to entertainment in long travels. Or maybe if she/ he sleep during 2 - hours, don't stop to talking with her/ him becuase that make the time pass more fast.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 3

Give them a  little Benedril before you take off and they will sleep the entire flilght.

Answer 4

I traveled last year with my 5-year old, and the year before that, and I always do the same, buy her crayons and a coloring book just for that purpose -don't give them their traveling gift until they are on the plane-

Also carry their favorite toy and some snacks.

Ask their pediatrician if you can give them some medication to calm down a little bit.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Drugs are a really good idea.  I was on a flight from Puerto Vallarta to L A  and I was about 3 rows from a young mother with 3 children.  My Hat goes off to anyone who can put up with that without going crazy.
