Taking a 17 month old on 9 hours flight

[CanaryMary]

Is this unreasonable? She’s mobile
and time difference would be 5 hours?? Is it doable or totally unrealistic and unreasonable to her is others!! It’s for a potential holiday

We did it when our DD was that age - it was largely fine. We deliberately booked a night flight though so she could sleep - which she did - but we didn’t! Made first day of the holiday tricky but after then it was plain sailing.

Just for a holiday... for your own sanity chose somewhere closer. Holidays with toddlers can be more tiring than being at home.e with them. Fun, but exhausting.

its been done millions of times, go for it but be aware of the plane you are catching as often larger planes have better, bigger childchanging facilities - check on the net, and specialist airline forums - however, the allocated plane may be substituted
