That is actually not too bad a time to travel. Back in 2000, my son took his first airline trip at the age of a bit more than two weeks! (at that time, I had been assigned to Toronto for several months and my wife decided to join me and simply have the kid in Canada). He was born early in December and we were back home (Germany at the time) for Christmas.
At that age, they just eat and sleep, no matter where. Now (10 year old boy and 8 year old daughter) I find family travel way more daunting than back then.
As to your wife not wanting to make that mileage run for 1K: either one has the FT bug or one hasn't. It is contagious, though - if conditions are right!
