Many who have ever ventured to rest with children are frightened by the flight on the plane with the child: what to entertain the child on the road, what to feed on the plane, etc. And the longer the journey on the plane, and the further the distance, the rounder at the parents eyes. But these questions do not arise at home.
Flight on an airplane with a child
When a child is in an airplane, this is more tiring for others than for parents. The parents' task is to fence themselves off from the surrounding people and only deal with the child, as if we are at home, otherwise your kid will be capricious and feel abandoned. But he will be a bit uncomfortable, because the child does not have his own separate place. You're lucky if these three hours the baby sleep.
Ticket for a plane for a child
Of course, by air you can fly quickly and comfortably, but also cheap. If the child does not occupy a separate seat, then the flight ticket for a child under 2 years old is free. But here you need to clarify, the ticket is free only in Russia, when flying Russian airlines. If you fly abroad, the discount is from an adult tariff of 90%. If an adult flies with 2 children up to 2 years, then only one child flies on an infant tariff, and the second child flies at a children's tariff from 2 to 12 years, with a place. Children from 2 years to 12 years fly at a discount, but depending on the airline discount ranges from an adult rate of 30% to 50%.
If your baby weighs up to 10 kilograms, then booking tickets must be ascertained in advance whether there is a special cradle on board the aircraft. If there is one, you can book it before the flight, which will simplify your journey.
When you have a very small child, it will serve you as a visiting card, namely a VIP card, you will be missed without a queue. Even if the passengers who together with you are in the same queue have not thought of this, the airline representative will approach you and invite you to register. Or you can go straight to the registration with a child, bypassing passengers and this will be normal, not insolently, because with a child you are already a VIP, and not a simple citizen.
In the major airports of our country there is a room for mother and child, there you can pass the time: to sleep, wash the child, eat, snack.
Do not drag things, but take a cart at the airport, put a child there, if you do not have a stroller. As for how to carry a stroller in an airplane, then if you have a walking stick, you do not need to put it in your luggage. Calmly take the child to her to the plane's ramp, and when you land the stroller you will be taken back and taken back when you arrive.
If you are flying with a child, then you are allowed to carry baby food on the plane. At the time of the flight, consider the menu for the child in advance, purchase and prepare everything you need. Just what you will use on the plane, all the rest, hand over with luggage.
In addition to food, take care of what you will entertain the child on the plane. Prepare rattles, books, favorite toys. In many airlines, if the flight is more than 3 hours, the child is given baby sets: coloring books, toys, babies are given bibs, wet wipes, hygiene kits that consist of diapers. But do not need to rely on someone, take a sufficient number of diapers, and in case of a surprise, put in your hand luggage removable clothing.
When the child is crawling, you need to stock up on the medicine and drink it beforehand. Do not forget that when taking off and landing, he lays his ears in children and adults. Breast will help the breast, and other children a sucking candy or a bottle with a drink.
Follow these tips and then the flight with the child will be ok. Have a good flight!
