Flying for the first time with 2 year old - any tips?!

[j5baby]

Flying with Easyjet to Geneva from East Midlands. DD is 2 years old...she hasn't flown before, she's very excited, but does anyone have any tips for keeping the journey stress free?!!

We are going away next week and my ds is 2. We went last year as well which was only a 2 hr flight which wasn't that bad. This time is a 4 hr flight but he has also got his own seat. Take colouring books, loads of snacks, pillow, and toys that aren't noisy. I normally buy a couple of new small toys and not give them to him til on the plane

new books, stickers, snacks, colouring. there will be a lot going on to talk about - looking at window at other planes, watching the air stewardesses etc

You'll be fine!!!

This may sound cruel, but strap them in their seat for the whole flight and take some new toys/books to play with!
I did not BELIEVE how happy mine was being strapped down on the way home, having terrorised the flight through not being strapped down on the way out!
