Flying with 2 under 4. Any advise pls??

[Enjoyingmycoffee1981]

I have flown with one before, but not two and I am a little anxious!

Dd is 15 months, DS is 3. They are generally well behaved, but they very small after all, so I want to be prepared! It is about a 3.5 hour flight.

Any awesome toys to recommend?

Any general advise?

Thanks v much

Just you, or will another adult be with you?

Do you have a tablet? I found in the night garden on ipad was the best thing for keeping DD (18mo) happy on the plane. Colour Magic type colouring pads and/or Magnadoodle were good too.

If it's just you - you may want reins or similar for 15 month old (for the airport).

Assuming there are two adults, if you're flying on a plane with 3-3 seating (ie 3 seats, aisle, 3 seats) put an adult and a child in the middle and window seats respectively and the other pair in the row behind or in front. If it's 2-4-2 go for the same or the middle four with the adults in the aisle seats.

(I was one of the children in this scenario and it worked for my family)

Ooh, and if you're flying from Heathrow T5 they have soft play! It is the single best ever thing in an airport ever.
