Flying with young children: tips and tricks for a successful trip

That's it, you're about to fly off on new adventures and take a plane for the first time with your baby or young children! Before the big departure, take a few minutes to read these valuable tips that will help you fully enjoy the trip!

Prepare for flight

When booking your flight, make sure to make smart choices that will make your trip easier. For example, with young children, it is always better to select direct flights that will save you long hours of waiting in airports. Also, if possible, for a very first flight, try to choose a destination where the plane ride is short , so that you can gently get started with this new way of traveling. Finally, if your budget allows, opt for a small supplement to reserve privileged seats that will give little legs more room to stretch their legs and have fun during the flight! Finally, take the time to consult the website of the airline you will be flying with, where you will certainly find several relevant pieces of information that will help you better plan your trip.

During the flight

For a pleasant flight for all, take the time to properly prepare your hand luggage and include everything you need to entertain, feed and even take care of the children ! Since each child with their own seat also has the right to their own hand luggage, don't hesitate to use it to include what you will need. Obviously, make sure to bring snacks (this is the time to offer what you usually never allow!), games and toys (a few new things are also always useful here to keep the children busy for long periods of time), but also a kit of medicines that could be useful to you as well as a change of clothes for each child.

Obviously, because at Les Belles Combines, we like to simplify your life, we have prepared for you the list of essentials to include in your hand luggage to download right here ! Would you rather have it always at hand on your cell phone? Find it, ready to use, on our Octave application!

The famous letting go

You have carefully prepared everything, but your child still has a monumental tantrum in the middle of the flight? Your baby has been screaming for several minutes despite all your good intentions? Even if you have taken the time to plan your trip in every detail, do not forget that children remain children, even at 30,000 feet in the air ! Let go and stay calm: everything will pass, and your trip will soon make you forget all these little moments!
