Travelling with Kids can be challenging, but with careful planning you can have a really enjoyable family holiday.
- Packing to cater for children is essential. We suggest you include , food, drink, toys, books, games, wet wips, and a change of clothes for the flight. Food & drink at airports is generally expensive.
- Items such as prams, strollers, cots and high chairs in most cases can be hired rather than lugging them with you.
- We also suggest a simple medical kit and motion sickness medication.
- Allow extra time for airport check-in and ask if your flight is full when checking in. Some airlines may block off a seat next to you which is particularly useful if travelling with infants.
- Look out for fast track customs and immigration check points for those traveling with infants.
- Find out as much as possible about the destination and accommodation. In some cases a self-contained apartment may be more convenient than a hotel. This can also save you money with self-catering some of your meals.
- Strange places can upset small children, so be sure to bring something that reminds them of home, like a cuddly toy or blanket.
