We are off on holiday to Tenerife next month and it's a 4 1/2 hour flight so DS will need changing at some point. I know there aren't changing tables in the toilets and there's barely enough room for 1 adult let alone me and DS! Has anyone any experience? We are flying BA there and Easyjet home x

Please don't leave the dirty nappy in the seat pocket, or try to hand it to the cabin crew (they have to handle food)!
Put it in the toilet waste bin

And you should be able to do it on your knee sitting on a loo by now anyway, surely?

I couldn't change my 3 year old's nappy on my knee if she did a poo! (which I'm assuming is the only reason op would want to change his nappy on the flight).

I never got the hang of nappy changing on my knee with any of my 4 kids.

btw it's worth packing of change of clothes in your hand luggage both for you and ds, just in case of emergencies.

I learned this the hard way after dd, who hadn't shown any signs of being unwell, threw up on me. That was a flight I won't forget in a hurry.
