Resources for Extra Assistance when Flying with Kids

Never underestimate the kindness of other passengers on the plane.

When traveling on airplanes with small children, every once in a while you need that extra bit of help that can only come from a kind passenger near you. It might be the nice business traveler that is sitting near you on the plane or it might be a flight attendant that is especially good with children. No matter where it comes from, a kind helping hand is always nice in a pinch.

Fellow passengers nearby might help you out by holding your baby and giving you a break. Sometimes this is called adopting a grandparent. There are many people on flights who love small children but don’t have any of their own. There may also be people on your flight that have small children but must travel frequently for work and be separated from them. If such a person happens to be sitting near you, it may be mutually beneficial for them to help you a little by playing with or holding your child for a little while during the flight.

Make friends with the passengers that are sitting near you and your child on the plane. If you are lucky, other passengers might enjoy helping you out with your child. You will not know about their willingness if you do not make a little effort to get to know them. Don’t shy away from offers for help or hesitate to ask for help if you see someone that seems charmed by your child.

There are also many flight attendants that are particularly good with children. They may come up and talk with your child. They may even give your child a toy or small object to play with. Intuitive flight attendants that like children are priceless during any airplane journey with small children.

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.
