I am flying long haul (9 hours) with my 2yo DTs tomorrow.
Our flight leaves at 3pm in the afternoon and gets in at 8pm local time, 1am UK time.
My original plan was to put LOs down for a short (45min) nap before we head to the airport, in the hope that they might not get too overtired on the flight (I am not expecting them to sleep) and will then go to sleep happily when we arrive, and not do the jetlag thing of waking at 4am on the first morning?
I?m beginning to wonder if it?s crazy to expect them to stay awake until essentially 1am with just a quick late morning nap.
I?m wondering what other MNers would do? Early nap and assume they won?t sleep on the plane or no nap and try and get them to sleep a few hours on the plane?? I guess I?m worried that if they sleep on the plane they won?t go to bed when we arrive and will wake up ridiculously early in the morning.
Posting in sleep as I need a fairly quick response, thanks!
