#Have Toddler, Will Travel – 10 Tips For Tension-Free Flying

#5 Take Your Time

Don’t rush and you’ll find life becomes a whole lot less stressful. When you have babies or toddlers, you just need to relax and accept that time needs to move a bit slower for you for a while. Give yourself loads of extra time at the airport and factor in the things like toilet stops, exploring and stopping to look at everything. Anything and everything can and does happen with kids so release your tight grip on control and let chaos reign! This way, you’re far more likely not to work yourself up.

#6 Make The Most Of Early Boarding

When you hear the early call for those with young children or needing assistance, don’t feel guilty or embarrassed but take it as your cue to have a slightly easier time boarding the plane. This is the only break you’ll get when traveling with children so relish every moment and get on that plane before everyone else. It will give you that much needed extra time to have your children settled before the crowds start boarding.
