bottle feeding on flights

[Portlypenguin]

Hi,
I searched on this but couldn't quite find what I needed!
I am taking my 7mo old to the USA in Feb to visit my parents. I did the trip in Nov but was BF then. I have almost completed the transition to bottles now and will have by the next trip.
I know the rules about going through security etc with formula. I was intending on taking some formula made up and some boiled water/pre-measured powder pots for the later part of the journey.
What I am not sure about is how people manage heating bottles/ baby food on the flight? Any tips on this would be gratefully appreciated. I have tommee tippee thermal bottle bags (ok for couple of hours I find) and a tommee tippee thermos thing I got for xmas but haven't used yet.
This trip will be a little mroe stressful as I had my husband with me previously but will be alone with DS this time....will have him in the sling though which frees up me hands at least.
Thanks for any advice!!

I flew on a scheduled flight and they would heat up the bottle in hot water in their kitchen area.

I also preordered cartons of formula from the Boots at whatever terminal I left from you can find the number on their website. That way I knew that there was definately enough cartons for me to travel their and back with having to worry about the faff of powders and water. The air stewards were happy to put any open cartons of formula I wasn't ready to use in their fridge too.

Have fun in the US, I'll be heading that way in May with an 8 month old so I'll be looking at the replies in interest, especially in regards to baby food!

Sorry for lack of punctuation I have to keep going to see to the baby as he's not settling very well tonight!

Would you consider mixing the formula with bottled water and serve at room temperature?

I'd take/buy some cartons - then you don't have to worry about it not being sterile, boiling water etc.

Thanks.

I would be happy to serve the milk at room temp if my baby would drink it! Unfortuantely he is a stickler for warm milk. I think I might take some water/formula and some cartons. I can use the latter first in they get opened up. Could cover most eventualities then I suppose.
