The Best Airlines For Traveling With Children
Traveling with your children can be trying at the best of times.
If you're traveling by plane there are some things that you can
do to make the trip just a little easier on you. One of the most
overlooked tips when it comes to plane travel with children is
choosing the right seats.
If you get seats that are in the bulkhead you'll find that you
have more legroom. This means that you can spread out a bit more
with all the extra bags that you always seem to have when you
travel with children. The drawback about having one of the seats
in the bulkhead is that you won't have any storage room under
your seat. This means that all the bags you have spread out in
front of you while the plane is in the air will have to be
stored in the overhead storage compartments during takeoff and
landing.
Window seats are always a good bet for young children,
especially those that are flying for the very first time.
Looking out the window can keep them occupied and busy during
the flight.
If you're traveling with a baby and know that you're going to
have to heat up a bottle on more than one occasion then seats
near the kitchen area might be your best choice. If there is
only a kitchen area at the back of the plane keep in mind that
you may be first on the plane, but that you'll also be the last
off! If you're going to be anxious to get off the plane you'll
want to choose seats that are at the front of the plane,
ensuring that you'll be one of the first passengers off the
plane.
When you travel with your children on planes you need to be
prepared for anything that comes your way, including cranky
children that won't settle. Bring along plenty for them to do so
that they are kept busy. Books, music tapes, crayons and paper,
and travel games are always a good choice.
