You need to book your seats together beforehand. Some airlines charge extra for assigned seating, but it\u2019s worth it to ensure your family stays together. If you wait until check-in, there\u2019s a risk of being separated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_a_Kid-Friendly_Airline\"><\/span><b>Select a Kid-Friendly Airline<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all airlines are family-friendly. Some airlines provide additional benefits that make traveling with children comfortable. Some airlines offer complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi, individual TVs, an excellent frequent flyer program for families, reserved &#8220;family rows&#8221; and kid-friendly snack baskets before landing. So check with your airline before booking your international flight tickets to enjoy a pleasant journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_Kids_Meals_in_Advance\"><\/span><b>Book Kids&#8217; Meals in Advance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the top things to do before you fly. If you&#8217;re taking a long-haul flight with in-flight meals then pre-order a kid&#8217;s meal. They will always serve them first so that you will have time to feed your child before you eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_Direct_Flights\"><\/span><b>Book Direct Flights\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/things-to-do-before-flying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">things to do before flying<\/a> internationally. Whenever possible, book a direct flight. With this, you can have fewer layovers, no last-minute running around airports,\u00a0 and less opportunity for lost bags.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t avoid a layover, choose a longer one to give yourself enough time for diaper changes, meals, and rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enroll_in_TSA_PreCheck_or_Global_Entry\"><\/span><b>Enroll in TSA PreCheck or Global Entry<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearing security with children can be challenging. TSA PreCheck allows families with children 12 and under to clear more quickly when flying. When you fly internationally, Global Entry speeds up customs clearance when returning to the US. So this is one of the top things to know before flying which helps you have a smooth journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charge_Power_Banks_Electronics\"><\/span><b>Charge Power Banks &amp; Electronics<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charge all your gadgets before departure. Carry spare power banks so you don&#8217;t use up the battery during the flight. Children are always hungry, and sometimes they can&#8217;t like airplane food. So it is essential to pack some different snacks so they remain cheerful during the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arrive_Early_Take_Family_Boarding_Advantage\"><\/span><b>Arrive Early &amp; Take\u00a0 Family Boarding Advantage<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow a bit of extra time to get through security and settle in before the flight. Early boarding is usually available to families on most airlines, so don&#8217;t hesitate to take advantage of this benefit. If your child is flying for the first time, brief them on what will happen at the airport and on the plane. Watching a kid-friendly video or reading a children&#8217;s book about flying can help ease any fears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some of the top things to do before flying. Traveling with kids with the right plan can be fun and comfortable. Focus on making the trip as pleasant as possible for your child instead of stressing about perfection by making sure they sleep enough, eat regularly, and stay entertained. Every trip is an opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime, so plan perfectly to enjoy your adventure.

A separate seat is recommended for safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How can I keep my child entertained during the flight?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download movies, pack coloring books, bring small toys, and load up a tablet with kid-friendly apps to keep them engaged during the flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What should I pack in my carry-on for my baby?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diapers, wipes, snacks, baby food, formula or milk, extra clothes, pacifiers, hand sanitizer, medications, and a comfort toy or blanket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do airlines provide bassinets for babies?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some airlines offer bassinets for long-haul flights, but they are limited and must be requested in advance. Check with your airline before booking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Should I bring a stroller or a baby carrier?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both can be useful! Strollers can be gate-checked for free, and baby carriers help keep your hands free while moving through the airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Disclaimer:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><i>Indian Eagle claims no credit for the images featured on its blog site.
