BA with toddler

[Dalesgirl16]

Taking our first holiday abroad with our early two year old in a week. I just found out BA no longer serve inflight meals and she won't eat sandwiches. Fine, we can get something at departure. I wondered if they help with warming bottles of milk on board. I've asked twice online and got a no then a yes?

Where do you change the baby?

Also, can you take the stroller up to boarding gate? The lady in call centre abroad said any stroller can go on board and website says otherwise. Not looking forward to it, especially as I'm pregnant and super nauseous!

How long is flight? And when?
Can you teach 2 yr old to have cold milk?
Don’t worry about meal on plane- just plenty little snacks/ treats- it really won’t hurt for one day.
Changing- do it as late as possible before boarding, only change on plane if you have to. Can you change standing up? If not, maybe practice! It helps as the toilets really are teeny.
I’ve never had problem taking pushchair to gate- get it tagged at check in for gate check, leave it as you board, collect as you get off.
It will be fine- change of clothes for everyone, try to relax and enjoy!

The buggy will be fine to take and I'd just go for lots of snacks. My DS found it really fun to have lots of little snacks. However a 2yr old doesn't need warmed milk

We havent managed to teach her to have cold milk yet as she refuses it. Will keep trying but never mind about bottle if need be. We are flying for up to five hours to Cyprus. Thanks for your advice.

I have always found BA very accommodating (my preference airline) although I don't like all the changes(meal/drink) because I feel they detract against what appealed to me. They would always provide you will a cup of hot water which you could hopefully use to heat milk.

Toilets are small but on every flight, I have been (normally 2/3 a year there is always someone changing babies nappy).

I thought a flight within Europe over 4 hours was considered long haul and therefore meals/drinks would be provided.

It's really weird that this flight to and from Larnaca is 4.5 hr there and 5 hr return but considered short haul when shorter distance to Moscow is long haul!
