We're hoping to visit family in Perth in February. We want to go via Dubai this time. Can I have your opinions on flight times. We will have our little boy with us who will be nearly 8 months old.

Glasgow - Dubai 13.35 arrive 00.55

Six days later

Dubai - Perth 02.35 arrive 18.20

Perth - Glasgow 23.30 arrive 11.55 am

My main concern is the disruption to DS sleep, especially on the Dubai - Perth leg which is in the middle of the night.

He does tend to get upset when overtired and can hit a roundabout with crying which he sometimes can't seem to get off.

No matter who we fly with part of the flights either there or back have poor times from DS sleep point of view.

How do you cope with horrid flight times and a little one?

i think the flight times wont be the problem as such,. more the time difference. the jetlag. the unfamiliar places.
unfortunately you will just have to get on with it. be flexible. allow time to let him just be. dont expect to be able to continue with same feeding routines. when we traveled with 9 month old ds, we found that he went back up to six bottles and less solids.
breast feed if at all possible
