Tips about Layovers when Flying with Kids
|
As tempting as it may be to trim your
layover to a minimum and get to your destination 30 minutes earlier, be
careful about trimming too much. Allow yourself plenty of time during
layovers when traveling with infants or toddlers.
You may need some
extra time to deal with unexpected events such as: |
|
If you have already emptied your “bag of
tricks” on the previous flight(s), you may also want time to purchase
some additional items to help entertain your children during the next
flight.
All of these issues are of course in
addition to the normal trials that passengers of air travel must
overcome during layovers and plane changes. While it may be tempting to
trim some time and make the trip shorter, consider allowing that little
bit of extra time to make your trip easier.

Flying Kids Mission
As parents, we are
responsible for molding our precious babies into well rounded
adults who have an appreciation for the variety of opportunities
that they have available to them as they grow and develop as
individuals. Exposing children to varying geographical
locations and cultures around the world is an important teaching
method that many parents have the option to use for developing
generations of culturally aware future leaders who have
childhood experiences that help them understand and personally
relate to global issues. It is the mission of Flying Rugrats to arm parents with information about flying
with children, toddlers or infants strategies in an effort to
dispel fear or apprehension about family travel so that families
may travel freely and better educate our future world citizens
through positive travel experiences.
