Traveling on long-haul flights is torturous enough. But what if you’re flying with the whole family, including young children? Here are some handy hits to make long-haul fun:
- Choose your in-flight entertainment - Check websites and consult a travel agent for airlines with diversionary activates such as video games. Even better, seek out those with individual in-seat audio and video systems with dedicated kids’ channels. Or take a portable DVD player or MP3 player with your own movies and music.
- Choose flight times carefully – If you’re spending most of the time airborne at night, that’s good thing. There’s more chance your kids will sleep and less need to entertain them. If bedtime is usually 8p.m, choose a flight that leaves in the late afternoon – lots of time for a meal and a movie, then slumber.
- Give a helping hand. Jet lag affects everyone, including toddlers. Encourage your kids to drink more water than usual. Take a stopover if you can. Your kids will get a chance to slowly adjust to changing time zones.
