Some gems:
1. Families: board last
2. Bring entertainment
3. Be quiet! No, really. You, too, Mum.
4. Chair seatbacks are a danger zone
5. Stewardess is not a synonym for babysitter
Travel With Children
Cheers.
agree on 2, maybe on 3; 4, eh.... 5 absolutely.
skiadcock is dead on. I read the forum here when I started having kids. Got many a great tip and NOW the FA's routinely compliment us on how great we fly.
We get the kids on board quick and let them explore the seat until its time to buckle in. Lots of activities to play, ipad comes out only as a last resort, hardly ever used.
