Transporting - 10 Tips for Taking Flight with Children

If you find a little crazy to taking flight with your children, Top China Travel would like to list 10 tips for you to have a more comfortable flying time when you have family tour in China.

No. 1 - 1 hour earlier to the airport than your usual time

Compared with adults, children may have their own clocks which may cost more than usual time to take the flight. Your children may cost time to find their favorite toys or just play in the bathrooms before they begin to the airport.

No. 2 - Give kids an own bag which is responsible by themselves

Give kids a suitable size bag as their own bags. This procedure can not only cut down your heavy packages but also train them to be responsible for their own belongs. If possible, you can practice them to have a security checking which will be occurred in the airport.

No. 3 - Prepare enough snacks

If your kids cry or could not be quiet immediately, try to prepare some snacks for dealing with these situations.

No. 4 - Tag your kids

ID bracelets for your brood are an added layer of security. These reusable or disposable bracelets keep your contact information on the inside for privacy, and can be a lifesaver if you get separated in a crowded airport.

Flying with kids in China

No. 5 - Let them play tired before taking the flight

Flying involves a lot of sitting still, an activity at which most children do not excel. Let them get a little wild in the airport. Find some open space and let them play, or take them for a long walk around the concourse. The more steam they let off before boarding, the less antsy they’re liable to get in the air. The noise and bustle of an airport terminal is a much better place to get rowdy than the confines of an aircraft cabin.

No. 6 - Pay attention to the temperature in the flight

Regardless of season, airplane temperatures are unpredictable. They can be uncomfortably warm or unreasonably chilly and rarely hit a happy medium. Really, this is a tip that can help anyone–not just children. Dress your family in layers. Start with a light t-shirt. Over that, slip on a not-too-heavy long-sleeve. And for the outermost layer, a sweater or hoodie will keep cold temperatures at bay. 

No. 7 - Ensure your children in the seat well before you sit well

Better to firstly check about children’s seats and their comfortable level when taking the flights. The seat belts, the seat backs, or the windows.  

No. 8 - Let them read books

Reading is a universally good tool for children of all ages. 

No. 9 - Trade places

A flight can be a perfect opportunity for siblings to get uninterrupted time alone with a parent. You can swap kids on the way back or on the next leg of your flight. And yes, you do need to give up the window. It’s just one of those sacrifices parents have to make.

No. 10 - Stay sane

Ignore rude people and don't stress about annoying others with your screaming child or children. You're trying your best, and you're never going to see these people again, so who cares?
