Flying with children requires preparation, patience, and a few tricks up your sleeve. Start by booking seats together — airlines are legally required to seat children with adults in many countries, but it's easier (and less stressful) to arrange in advance.
Infants under 2 can fly on a parent's lap for a reduced fare, but a seat with an approved infant car seat is safer. Toddlers benefit enormously from the window seat — watching the world from above is endlessly fascinating.
Pack a dedicated "entertainment bag" with new small toys revealed one by one. Snacks are essential — hunger makes children miserable. Download shows offline on a tablet, and bring noise-cancelling headphones sized for children.
