this is a great howto.... just emailed to my brothers who travel to with their 2/3 kids every year. Lots of great tips in here.

anyone have tips on how to travel with kids that can be included in this How To? I know the author is listening in...

Nicole comes out with another great how-to page.

Please please recommend links or post to the message board if you have any tips of your own!

someone told me: "people should print this out and had to people with bad kids"

not suggestion anyone do that. :-)

I don't fly that often, and I don't have kids... but I am proud of the work my peers are doing at Mahalo.com, where I work! Check it out.

Some good suggestions, but, after recently flying with my youngest daughter ((3 yr old out of CHI - 3 hour delay on tarmac)) I have resigned myself to the fact that: sometimes NOTHING works. If a 3 yr old is tired of a 3 hr delay, is it their fault? The advice to use smaller airports rings true in this area.

I can also state from experience that I am totally shocked by how poorly some flight attendants behave: 3 hour delay ON the plane, and the attendant would NOT allow my daughter to stand up on our laps and play with the air vent?

I personally like the breast feeding for relaxation idea...I might be able to fall asleep afterwards.

This is just a wealth of information. Excellent page.

interesting howto's! comes on the right time :) thanks

How to fly with kids...don't.

nice article but to read comments here its all like rocket science. Seems like a long list of common sense.

I usually consider I drew the short straw when I sit within one seat of a small child on a flight. If things work out, I consider myself fortunate.
