For those who have traveled with infants internationally from the US...?




Sasi


I have been doing some research on which airlines are more infant friendly. I am trying to find the best one to fly to Saudi Arabia from the US. Any opinions on which airlines I should take? My daughter is 9 months old, and more than likely, we will be flying first class.
I would also prefer to have a cot for her and/or have her be a 'lap' passenger.



Answer
Emirates is hands down the best ever airline for children. I have flown on it myself with both my 4 year old daughter and my 2 year old son. They are great with children. They do provide cots as well and even if you don't have a window seat, you are not bored out of your mind. They provide a backpack full of toys for the children, infant toys, hand puppets, and books that you get to keep and take home. They also provide milk and a lot of snacks. Oh, and diapers! Can you believe they even provide diapers??? I was shocked at that one. They also have an interactive entertainment system that has both a huge collection for the seniors of old movies, the newest movies that are still in our theaters, and popular children's movies and cartoons. They have a huge variety of that. You can also view what the pilot sees from the forward camera and the downward camera, which is pretty intense when you are taking off and landing. They provide a footrest which comes in handy if the child is in your lap. They provide a lot of pillows. They also have a theme going for the newest cartoon movie out. When my husband and I went, Cars was the really big thing so they had a "star" ceiling and two sets of lights running along the craft that changed every so often from red and orange to blue and purple and all of these other colors. If you watch Cars and look at the scene where lightning mcqueen is travelling in the back of his truck, Mac, you will see the same thing.

I love this airline and will fly with them whenever we go international. They go to Saudi Arabia and I know you will love them. One bit of advice that my child's pediatrician gave me, though. Give your child a dose of Benadryl or Triaminic night time to help them relax during the flight. My kid's pediatrician said it is completely safe.

Is this wise... With a 7 month old?




nicky


Hello

I had a baby 7 months ago the father my bf of 4 years left me when our baby was 1 week old ever since then I've have to see him three times a week to hand baby over and it's driving me mad I need a change if scene as the past year has been tourture for me.

Would It be ok to take me baby from uk to USA for 2 or 3 weeks, is travelling with a baby hard?

Thanks



Answer
I don't believe you do need the father's permission to leave the country with your son... My son was born in the UK but we live in Italy. I have been able to travel frequently between the two countries without gaining any type of permission. Of course, if you have a formal arrangement for access, this may be different.

As for travelling with a 7 month old, I never had any problems as he would sleep at regular periods and was not toooooo active at that age and just sat or slept on my lap on the flight, he wasn't too heavy to carry around int he airport etc. But I made short haul flights. UK to USA is a lot further. You'll need to organise the baby's passport of course, in case you haven't already. And any visas etc.

In the airport you will need to open and taste a certain amount of food and milk that you carry on for your baby and you will need to organise a bassinet on the flight, if there is one available.

You'll need to think about what to take: pushchair, car seat, travel cot, toys, food, clothes, nappies, etc. The list is endless with little ones!

Good luck

Traveling w/2 babies!?

Any moms out there with any good advice on traveling with a 22-month-old and a 3 month old w/a 5 hour layover in Miami...then a 2.5 hour flight...

Any tips will be appreciated!



Answer
You will want an aisle seat as the 22 month old will probably want to wander around Make sure the airline knows you have the 2 babies as they may be able to give you a seat with a wall in front some of the bigger airlines have a baby cot to hang on the wall The 3 month old will probably sleep a lot . Take some healthy nibbles for the 22 month old but no hard toys as could be dangerous if he or she starts throwing. A book or 2 would be good. Make sure you have a change or 2 of clothes for the children and some wipes. I dont know if you have a pram for them for your layover if not ask airport staff if there is a possibility of borrowing one. Keep calm
