Flying with your little one for the first time? Deep breath, friend. It’s so much more doable than the internet makes it sound. ✈️ and we’ve created a guide to help along the way!
After years of flying with our own kids (babies, toddlers, teens, and everything in between) and planning these trips for our client families, a few things we’ve learned:
• Skip the bulkhead with a lap baby. No underseat storage means your diaper bag is out of reach for takeoff and landing, exactly when you need it most.
• A long layover isn’t a problem, it’s a gift. Find an empty gate area, blow up a balloon, and let them run.
• Novelty beats quantity. Eight to ten little dollar-store finds, presented one at a time, will outlast a whole carry-on of toys.
• Teens count too: comfy layers, one organized backpack, a charged phone, and the airline app downloaded before you leave home.
Back in 2024 we wrote a blog on flying with toddlers, and we’ve since turned it into something much bigger: The Family Flight Guide. Ten pages covering seats, gear, layovers, ear pressure, packing lists, and screen-free entertainment, from lap babies all the way to teenagers.
Guides like this are usually something we save for our booked clients, but with so many families planning fall and holiday travel, we’re sharing this one with everyone for the month of September.
And our favorite part? You don’t need all of it. It isn’t a checklist to complete. Some ideas will work for your family and some won’t. We just hope it makes a thing or two easier.
Want a copy? Click below or send us a message anytime through September 30 and we’ll get it to you, our gift to your family. 💛
