A TRAVELING mother has revealed the best age to fly with young children and the dangerous age to avoid.
Influencer Courtney Orgias revealed the difference in her two children’s reactions to their first flight, when they were different ages.
Surprisingly, it was the youngest baby who easily handled a four-hour flight as he slept the entire way.
Orgies told Huffington Post: “Our daughter’s first plane ride was at 10 weeks and it was very smooth and easy.”
But she said traveling with her two-year-old son was a little more difficult.
She said: “He was restless and it was such a new experience, but with snacks and snuggles we had a great flight.”
Another traveling mother, Stephanie Claytor, made similar comparisons between her baby and her toddler during a flight.
She said: “As a breastfeeding mother, I think the ideal age to fly with a baby is between four months until the baby stops breastfeeding.
“Breastfeeding the baby to sleep on takeoff provides a smooth journey, with the baby sleeping during a short flight.”
A flight attendant has revealed the three areas you should reserve on the plane if you’re traveling with babies or children.
Rebecca Love, a flight attendant at Virgin Atlantic, explained why the bulkhead, window and near the bathrooms are the best options.
She said the mirror: “If they are small, try to get a bulkhead seat and request a bassinet (one of the bassinets that is attached to the front wall of the cabin).”
There is a little-known rule that can cause problems for parents – and even prevent them from flying.
Single parents may have difficulty flying if they have more than one young child.
Several airlines have rules that only allow one baby per parent.
A baby is classified as a passenger under two years of age.
British Airways allows passengers to hold one baby on one parent’s lap at a time, but this must be arranged over the phone, not online.
