AIBU to plan a domestic birthday flight for my seven-year-old?

[Edinburghwomenonamisso8n26]

My ds7 birthday is coming up in June. He has asked to go on a plane ( he's obsessed with them ) Due to his brothers severe disability he hasn't been overseas or on a plane. Life is hard and his brother unfortunately is at the centre of everything we do due to the needs and appointments etc
Despite this ds7 is such a lovely boy who understands more then he should at his age tbh.

Anyway I really want to take him on a plane for the day. I have made peace with the environmental impact as we use public transport and haven't flown in 10ish yrs and won't for a very long time after.

Any ideas where obviously he doesn't have a passport so has to be domestic only. tia

Thanks for the update. Looks as of he had a great time.

Such a happy face! Sounds like he had a brilliant time 😁

This is so lovely! Glad you had a wonderful time.

Wow. What a fabulous treat for your DS.

Happy birthday little man!

Finally, something online to make me smile! Well done OP xx

Such a beautiful thread! He’ll remember this forever!

This is such a lovely update - thank you OP for taking the time to let us know how it all went - Happy Birthday 😊

OMG look at that face! What a cutie.

His happy face says it all. What a brilliant thing you did for him. I hope you also had a great time OP.

Omg that is the happiest of little faces !! Amazing ! ❤️

Oh what a gorgeous boy. You’ve brought a tear to my eye

Look at that big grin 😁 Bless him
I can see he loved it !

Awe look at his little face! You've made him so happy!

What a beautiful post and amazing gift for your boy. You can just tell you both are absolutely fab parents, glad he had a lovely time xx

Ps kids without their front teeth are sooo cute! (So long as they're missing for the correct reason, not because they've been living on Haribo or been fighting Biffa Buster from the flats!!!!)

Belfast first came to mind. When my GC was 5 she wanted to go on a 'plane' holiday for her birthday. They went to, Amsterdam, Poland, Cologne, Barcelona, (then Covid meant this country). Then Belfast (still under restrictions). Her younger sister has disabilities and isn't keen on flying, so, we went to Blackpool. We all have good memories.

That’s wonderful, what a memory for him!

What a lovely surprise for him, just look at his wee face! I hope you all had a fabulous time with lovely memories to look back on. Brought a tear to my eye!

Amazing! He looks like he has the best time. Thanks for updating!

Ah look at his face. Pure joy. I hope you had an amazing day

That's beautiful - so special for you all

This is so beautiful but you made me cry. Happy Birthday to the little man x

Aww what a lovely update and such a happy wee boy!

Why is my phone looking blurry all of a sudden 🥺
well done OP 👏

Oh his gorgeous wee smile!!

I have to fly to Belfast soon for work and I’ve been dreading it (not Belfast itself - I just hate flying). I’m going to take a leaf out of his book and try and enjoy it!
