Keeping your kids entertained on a long flight can take a lot of forward planning! Of course, we all have our own devices these days but it's a good idea to check what they have on board, too, to help prepare your child for what to expect.
Think about battery life – if you're worried they won't last the long flight, bring a couple of fully-charged battery packs for all the tech you’ll have onboard. Plenty of planes now let you charge with a USB charger but it's always best to have back-ups.
Also, bring your own sleep mask or earplugs. The airline will hand them out but taking some that you know your kids are happy with will make it easier for them to settle down for a nap or some quiet time.
You might want to pack some healthy snacks that will keep hunger pangs at bay between meals but won’t go to waste if they don't get eaten straight away. A few protein bars or flapjacks, for example, or bags of nuts or dried fruits.
Finally, think comfort – what are your kids happy sitting around in for multiple hours? Whether that’s their favourite hoodie or trainers, don’t worry about dressing them to impress when you’re on the flight. And bring an extra layer or two as flights can get chilly and you might not have space for a warming cuddle. A big scarf or a jumper will do the trick.
And finally, check up on all the different long haul airlines we offer for your holiday before you book, so you can pick the best one for you and your family.
