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

flying from Edinburgh

To Heathrow and then to Legoland Windsor!

Wonderful!

Happy Birthday to your boy 🩵

Look at his face what an absolute picture ❤️.
He’ll never forget today, thank you so much for the update, that’s filled my heart with joy .

Fantastic big smile! Happy birthday to him! When you get rested let us know how you surprised him and what you go up to in Belfast. Obviously Titanic

Fantastic! What an amazing mum You are ♥️ hope you both enjoyed your day.

What a lovely update.

How absolutely bloody wonderful!

How wonderful! Maybe even two flights? Edinburgh to Hawick. Gatwick to Manchester and then home?

Make sure you mention to the flight attendants and they should let him meet the captain. Some airlines have a kids club so sign him up for that. Book a window seat!

Most fabulous birthday EVER!

Glad he had a fabulous day. His wee face says it all.

This is my favourite Mumsnet post of all time! He looks like he’s had the best day ever, you’re a fantastic mum and this is something he’ll remember forever ❤️

You came back to update - yay! I'm so pleased all went well. His little face says it all! This is a gorgeous thread!

Thanks for coming back with an update, what a great photo. He will always remember this birthday won’t he? Brilliant x

Thank you for the update! What lovely photos and so pleased he had a great day!

That big smile shows all was worth it.

Aw I love this. Brilliant.

Aaaw he looks delighted with his surprise ❤️ Well done, looks as though he had a wonderful birthday!

Oh look at his face. Too precious. What a fabulous update

What a wonderful update. You’ve made his dreams come true. He’ll always remember this day.

Like others this has brought a tear of joy to my eyes 🥲

My DS has significant disabilities and is necessarily central to our lives, I often worry that his utterly delightful younger DSis goes under the radar a bit. To do something lovely like this for the kind, understanding sibling is just perfect. His little face! As others have said, he'll remember this for the rest of his life.

Lovely boy, lovely parents. Well done all and happy birthday to son of Edinburghwomanwithcompletedmission 😀

You are such a lovely Mum, I’m so happy you pulled this off ❤️

Well done OP on doing this for your son. I seem to have got something in my eye!

What a fabulous update. And look at that happy face. What incredible memories for you both.
