kids on flights

[rachael43]

Hi all, we are going to florida in 8 wks time, for the 1st time, has anyone out there got any tips for keeping 2 boys (aged 10 & 7) from getting bored for the 9 hour flight, the farest they have before is to greece, pls help, from a v.grateful mumwww.mumsnet.com/te/1.gif

You could take things like mini board games and make up a little picnic of snacks for each boy. Allow them to take a few comics or books (buy new special ones just for the flight and let them pick the ones they want). I took a portable dvd player the last time I travelled with my son (Fully charged with a spare battery and some new dvds) and he had his ds too. He had his own hand luggage with a few little toys which really helped. Ask the boys what kind of things they would like to take with them. Hope you all have a great time.
