First flight for 8& 10 year olds, Flying to NYC, advice please!

[Nymphadora]

We are flying BA so will have seat tv things and they have DSes but what else do I need to know?

DH & I have been before so NYC doesnt bother me, just the airport/flying stuff.

TIA

Hi,

Where are you flying into, JFK or Newark?.

You can ask the aircrew to turn off some of the tv channels on board if film content is not suitable for their ages. Bringing along a portable DVD player can also be a good idea.

Food can be a bit hit and miss; I would seriously consider taking your own foodstuffs for the children and do not fully rely on them to provide!.

Do not forget completing the ESTA for all of you; this has now become a mandatory requirement for entry into the US.

The security people at LHR or LGW will probably still do a secondary search of pax at the gate before boarding (in view of what happened at Christmas).

Have a nice holiday!

It's LHR out to JFK we have done JFK before but usually fly from Manchester but couldn't get direct flights this time. Will take food esp for dd2 as she doesn't eat much , I don't think they do a bread meal

Seen on here will need a letter from Xh saying he allows kids to go with me and all the certs to prove they are mine!
