- i tried to email to the original poster but it bounced so
- here are my suggestions:
- 1. take lots of snacks..plan on the plane being delayed
- so take lots.
- 2. take a change of clothes for the kids and you..
- plan on them spilling lots of stuff.
- 3. plan on walking the aisles alot so make sure the
- child: adult ratio is 1:1
- 4. be patient.
- 5. bulkhead seats help 'cause they can nap on the floor
- 6. avoid the "red-eye" flights. our son was coming
- down with an ear infection and screamed the entire 5h
- flight from Hawaii to San Francisco. it would have been
- bad anyway but on the red eye flights people really,really
- want to sleep.
-
- sue hough had the best suggestion...be patient. so your
- kid cries. big deal. you will never see these people
- again (hopefully).
-
- at 15 months (the age of the child from the original
- poster) toys were of limited use. our child bounced
- between our seats and played with magazines.
-
- good luck.
