Flying Business Class with a Lap Child

When traveling with a lap child, you will have a more roomy arrangement and comfortable ride if you are a member of a frequent flyer program and can get an upgrade to business class.

Business class seats are wider and more comfortable.  There is also more leg room available.  The larger seats make traveling with a lap child a much more pleasurable experience.  For mothers, breast feeding is also easier with the extra space.

 

 

You can expect more attention and assistance from flight attendants in business class every step of the way.  The flight attendants commonly track your luggage and notify you during flight if there are any problems.  This can come in handy, for instance, if your stroller will not be waiting for you when you arrive at your destination.  Flight attendants will know in advance and you may have an opportunity for them to arrange a loaner to be there for you when you land.

There is also more food in business class which can be good when you have a child to feed off of your tray.  Little extras can sometimes make a big difference.

 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.
