Vacation Fulfillment Reveals Excellent Tips and Tricks for Flying with Children this Fall

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- The fall is a great time for family travels. There are better deals, cooling temperatures, and amazing outdoor destinations and seasonal festivals that will bring joy to young travelers. Because of these advantages, Vacation Fulfillment knows that many travelers choose to have their family vacations during the fall months. However, it is important to remember that family vacations take extra planning and that when traveling with young people it is important to factor in their needs. This is especially true when it comes to flying with children, so to help parents that are about to embark on their fall journeys with their kids, here are some top tips to keep in mind.

1.       Consider a longer layover: When a destination requires connecting flights, always consider picking the longer wait time. This choice is a lifesaver when traveling with babies who need some downtime in between flights, and also with older kids who may want to stretch their legs and play a bit before boarding another plane. The extra time also means that parents are not rushed when they are trying to get their family from one flight to the next and can take a break themselves.

2.       Get on board first: Families typically get priority boarding when it is time to get on the plane, and Vacation Fulfillment reminds parents to take advantage of this fact. If they get on the plane as early as possible, parents have more time to get all their kids settled in without crowds of others on the plane.

3.       Come prepared for a wait: Kids are likely going to need entertainment while they are on board as well as while they are waiting for the flight. Be sure to bring along plenty of entertainment for young travelers so that they have something to fill the time. Books are always a good option, as are tablets or other smart devices preloaded with reading material, videos, and games. Let the kids choose a couple of small toys or games that they would like to bring along, and make sure to bring some interesting items to entertain babies or toddlers. Just remember to check and make sure that all the toys follow TSA guidelines as popular toys like Play-Doh will not be allowed on the plane.
