I too was stressed and tried to read everything I could. Pumpkin is much older, but I think the biggest thing is to stay relaxed, prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Flying with Brayden ended up being way easier than I ever imagined. I agree with "mason" in the toys and snacks thing. I've heard/read that advice a lot. Also, Pumpkin will probably be very interested in her new surroundings, so that should be to your advantage. Enjoy your trip!Darethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898446420558086837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-32121098570516619442008-07-22T07:00:00.000-07:002008-07-22T07:00:00.000-07:00We flew to South Africa (20 hours of flying plus a...We flew to South Africa (20 hours of flying plus a 4-hour stopover)when Swee'pea was 11 months old. I think I blogged about it then, and Em at three times three had good tips. I think I linked to it somewhere in my blog, probably in November or December 06. <BR/><BR/>We bought new toys and saved them for the plane and introduced them over time. Flying with him on our laps was easy because that's mostly how he slept then anyways... he flirted with the other passengers. It was better than I expected. But flying when he was 2 was harder, probably mostly because of the timing of the flight. They say not to fly when your kid will be ready for a nap because they'll be overtired and screamy - that's what happened to us when we flew to Cuba.cinnamon gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363288586285868779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-1495672363348192642008-07-22T06:03:00.000-07:002008-07-22T06:03:00.000-07:00When we flew to AZ we gave him some benadryl to re...When we flew to AZ we gave him some benadryl to relax him. I bought some new little toys that he had never seen before. I packed a lot of snacks.<BR/><BR/>I dreaded taking Mason on the plane. But it wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined it would be. Good luck!Noren Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074810642467981444noreply@blogger.com
