It's that time of year when parents trail through airports with suitcases, children, children's suitcases, babies, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

So how do you keep track of your offspring and your chattels? Do you have essential tips for what to do before you even leave home to smooth the whole process at the airport? And what about fodder - for you and the little ones? And distraction (we're thinking flight delays and the interminable wait to get your hire car when you get there)? Oh, and pushchairs and bottle warming, and packing restrictions?

We need your top tips for making the airport bit of going on holiday as painless as possible - on the outbound and homeward bound legs of your journey - please add them here.

Thank you.

Meant to add my own in OP and forgot: don't allow your child into the entirely walled-in from floor to ceiling airport toilet without checking that they can work the lock BEFORE they go to the loo alone and lock the door.

Thanks to one and all for the great advice. Our intention is to group the tips in themes and use as the basis for a sponsored email and/or page of content.
