flying with kids
 

Im flying out monday morning for Hawaii, from what i understand its an 8hr flight and we have a short layover after two hours.we'll have a 13 month old and a 2 1/2 year old. Any tips? I know plenty of snacks and drinks and toys.but i know im overlooking stuff and dont want to get on the plane then realize what it is....:help:

Benadryl wouldn't hurt. Make them sleep

Give the older one a window seat and as far as the baby.....good luck.

I fly in helicopters regularly. I know at a certian altitude your ears will pop. I'd ask a doctor what you could do for the kids to help with this. There may be lots of crying going on. Not that painful but could make them cry. Just guessing , I've never flown with my kids. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express though.

Just notice this was in the events section, can someone move it to the general section.i know.gum helps but my little one will swallow it. I was gonna try to keep them up but we have a 2 hour drive to Houston so i know theyre gonna sleep on the way

Bring Gum for the 2 yr old to chew or something that will keep his jaw moving while chewing and time the baby's feeding to take off or let baby suck on nu-nu during ascent....Will decrease the chance of ears popping...Its what we did and it worked...Plenty of activities for the 2 yr old and try to keep the little one asleep...Wear that booger out before the flight...

Done

I don't know what the rules are on an commercial flight, but I'd bring a ipod, or some kind of video game for the 2yr old. Maybe a portable DVD player.

I think as far as electronics go, its just the transmitter portion that is the problem.

Bring the 2 year old an eletronic device that plays movies with battery fully charged and headphones. There will probably be on flight movies on a flight that long but not sure if they will be age appropriate.

You have to turn off electronics only on take off and landing.

You won't be allowed benadryl on plane. We went to Scotland with my kids but had a prescription very similar to benadryl that they allow. When we got there they were well rested. However I was not but hey do what you have to do.

Well our plane leaves at 8 and they normally get up around 7. Their nap time should be around the second flight though so maybe then i can slip them some benadryl...

they make special ear plugs for kids to keep their ears from popping. look them up on the internet.

You are a brave man!

No, i just really wanna go to Hawaii haha

Been there done that to the Bahammas with 1 3yo....your doing it with 2???!!! U gotta b insane!!!! LOL ....one word of advice.....BABYSITTER!!!!!!! Or YOU WILL need valium and alkehaul!!!!! Best of luck bro

Skittles instead of gum for the 2 y.o. It worked for my 2 1/2 y.o. son this summer flying to Montana. Benadryl helped too and it coincided w/ his nap luckily there and back. While he was awake he travelled really well surprisingly. Good luck and have fun.

Why would you travel with young children that far?

To go to Hawaii. Duhhh
