Tips for long haul flights with kids

Just that really.

What are your tips for long haul flights with kids. Between the ages of 8 - 12 years.

Does anyone recommend the inflatable cube for kids to put their feet on?

Get things to occupy them, puzzle books etc, snacks. However if it's long haul they will
Prob just watch the films and game and have a great time!

Oh 8 and 12? They'll be fine.
Snacks from the local supermarket the week before. Let them both choose a few things.
Get them their own blankets
Take over ear headphones vs what they give out on the plane.
Look into their entertainment lists so the kids can decide what they'll watch in advance
=)
Won't be too bad at that age

Those inflatable cubes are banned on some airlines, so check. Most children travel really well at those ages. There should be lots of films, they can take games and books. They’re quite small in the seats, so should be comfortable. You could order children’s meals if you think they’re fussy eaters. Take water and snacks. They’ll be fine.
