As any parent knows, traveling with small children is no easy feat. From a lack of patience to being overtired, traveling can have a grueling toll on your little ones. Here are some essential tips to make flying with your toddler as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Think of the Timing of Each Leg

Whether you’re flying direct or you have a layover, consider what time you’re flying as this could impact your child’s sleep schedule. Taking an overnight flight or ensuring the flight takes place during your child’s nap times could help to make it easier on your child, especially since they’ll be sleeping rather than being bored due to sitting in one place.

Select Your Seats in Advance

Make sure to select your seats ahead of time to ensure that you create as comfortable an environment for yourself and your toddler as possible. Selecting a front-row seat could put you in a prime spot for a baby bassinet, allowing your child to sleep comfortably in an environment reminiscent of their crib.

Talk to Your Airline

By speaking to your airline and explaining your situation, you may be able to receive assistance for yourself and your toddler. Sometimes, they may be able to provide in-flight entertainment and puzzles and games along with some kid’s meals.

As you probably know, finding good deals on flights can sometimes feel impossible. That’s why you may want to try a risky flying hack known as skiplagging. Here is your guide to skiplagging and deciding whether or not this neat trick is worth trying out.

What is Skiplagging?

While booking a direct flight to your chosen destination can be expensive, booking a different flight that has a layover in your destination of choice may turn out cheaper. For example, let’s say you want to fly from Washington D.C. to Dallas. While a direct flight may be expensive, a flight from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles with a layover in Dallas may be cheaper. In this case, you would fly to Dallas for your layover and simply not get on your flight to Los Angeles. Still, how risky is this maneuver?

The Risks

If you book a ticket like this, then make sure not to travel with checked bags as these will proceed to the final destination. Also, many airlines void tickets if they see this practice in use. So, make sure not to do this with your favorite airline if you choose to take the risk of doing some skiplagging.

The Benefits

Ultimately, skiplagging can save you a lot of money. So long as you avoid checking in baggage and taking the risk of doing this practice with your favorite airline, then skiplagging can certainly be worth a try.

Flying can be a stressful and time-consuming experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some top tips for avoiding queues and cutting waiting time.

Don’t Check In Your Luggage

If you’re going for a short trip, it’s best to avoid checking in your luggage. Check the guidelines, pack light and skip the queue at the check-in desk.

Bring a Pen

If you’re traveling internationally, you’ll likely need to fill out a departure form. Bring your own pen and avoid having to wait to use the one at the desk.

Bring an Empty Bottle

Planes dehydrate you and so airlines charge a small fortune for in-flight water. Most airports offer free refills so bring an empty bottle to save money.

Pre-download Your Movies

While some airlines offer an amazing collection of in-flight entertainment, others may offer a handful of foreign films with terrible English subtitles. Save disappointment by bringing your own.

Stay Seated as Long as Possible

Flyers tend to jump up the moment the plane lands in the hope they can make a run for it to security. The plane doors usually don’t open for several minutes after landing, so wait patiently and stay seated.

Bring Your Own Pillows

Airplane pillows are rarely washed between flights. If this grosses you out.. bring your own.
