Traveling with children is a stressful and exciting experience at the same time, and each of us tries to provide the best that we have for our children, whether it is comfort for them or give them a sense of safety and hope that the time of the trip passes in peace.

There are steps that guarantee parents an easy and smoother journey with their children if they follow them:

 Arrive early to the airport

It is preferable to come early to the airport, three hours before the flight, in order to complete the flight procedures and to avoid any mistakes and reduce their sense of stress.

flight timings

Parents should choose a suitable time for the trip so that it suits the child’s sleeping pattern, whether the trip is very early in the morning or at night, and thus allows the child to take a nap during the trip, and it is also preferable that the trip be without stopping any one line of the trip to reduce fatigue.

Seat selection

It is preferable to choose a comfortable and suitable seat in terms of space, as there are seats that have a larger area for the feet, or seats that are near the toilet or next to the window, and if the child is an infant, a bed is reserved for him and placed in a place designated to provide comfort for him and the mother at the same time.

packing bags

The most important task in the trip is packing the bags, as this step saves a lot of trouble during the trip;

First: the needs bag, which consists of the things that your child needs

1)- Extra clothes, diapers, wet wipes, anti-inflammatory cream, skin cream.

2)- Medicines, whether they are analgesic or antipyretics, as the child may need them at any time, and do not forget points for the nose and ear to relieve the child in case of obstruction during the boarding and landing of the plane, hand sanitizer, wound dressings, wound sterilizer, thermometer.

Second: The meal bag consists of the symptoms you need to feed your child

1)- For a breastfed child, there should be what he needs for feeding, except for bottles or milk, and pacifiers.

2)- For the older child, snacks such as biscuits and natural fruits such as oranges, apples, and dried fruits such as dried grapes and others should be placed in it. It is preferable to stay away from sweets that contain sugar such as chocolate because they will give the child extra energy and make him active.

Third: The entertainment bag is placed in it all the entertainment that the child needs, whether it is manual work such as a book of coloring and colors, or clay to make beautiful shapes or games such as cubes and puzzles and other games such as cars, dolls, etc. It is preferable that we choose games that do not make a loud sound so as not to disturb those around us from the travelers .

Spending time with your child

If your child is awake, all you have to do is play with him through the entertainment bag, or you can have a snack with him, or you can allow him the fun that airlines provide, such as watching cartoon films on the screens of their planes, and the flight time will pass smoothly and peacefully.
