Don\u2019t let them over eat before flying. Egg sandwiches, hotdogs and a fizzy coke in the airport lounge, may not be a good idea. If you give them travel sickness pills make sure that they are not allergic to them.<\/li>\n<li>Provide entertainment. It may be one of the better times to let them become absorbed in computer games, or pack a couple of good books to pass away some time.<\/li>\n<li>Your child may be excited or scared before a flight; they will naturally act differently on board. Take time before you fly to explain that the plane is full of passengers sitting in a confined space, who may not be too keen on over excited or constantly fidgeting children.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to them, explain where they are going and the wonderful holiday that awaits, suggest plans and involve them in choices. A bored child is asking for trouble!<\/li>\n<li>Play-dough, glue sticks and scissors are all in the \u201cforbidden\u201d category for obvious reasons. However, dot to dot, colouring books and quiz books are allowed. Play card games like Uno, or a portable plane-friendly game like Scrabble Folio. Clever companies have now come up with portable activity kits for each age group. A portable DVD player and a couple of good children\u2019s films (ones they haven\u2019t yet watched), or listen to favourite audiobooks, better still make up stories for them.<\/li>\n<li>Pack extra baby food and of course plenty of nappies and baby wipes, you\u2019ll never know when you\u2019ll need them!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelling with young children isn\u2019t always easy, especially on aeroplanes when \u2018toilet stops\u2019 and breaks in motorway services aren\u2019t possible.
