July 11th, 2010

Travel rules change almost daily. Be certain to check the TSA web site to see if you there are bulletins or new regulations. When traveling with children by air you’ll require more time for security screening. Prepare your children prior to taking them to the airport. Show them how it can get you and them into trouble by making threats such as “”there is a bomb in my case.”

Even if even a child makes a threat, it will delay the entire group of passengers and could even result in your family experience a fine. If you are traveling with a newborn, a collapsible baby stroller is ideal. We went to Malaga in Spain and had really great fun with our kids. You’ll have an easier time traveling with an infant when you make the effort to reserve your airline seat at the bulkhead because there is an newborn carrier attached to the bulkhead. When traveling with children you’ll discover that they may be reticent about the security screening process.

Stress to your youngsters that the process is a serious procedure in spite of the stories they may have heard. Explain that their bags (backpack, dolls, shoes.) will under go the screening in some cases X-ray, but will come out at the other end for them to collect. Once you board the aircraft be certain to give your infant a pacifier. This will aid in any air pressure changes the newborn may experience during accent and decent. Children can accomplish the same with a piece of gum or soft candy. To your older child explain to him or her about air pressure.

Take along small toys and games for the children. It’s common knowledge the airline food isn’t always reliable so you will do better if you prepare some of your children’s preferred snacks handy. Breast milk, medications, formula milk juices and other infant foods, and are allowed on board air cabins in reasonable quantities. Usually those quantities must be within the three-ounce liquid limit. However, three-ounce baby jars are allowed for these liquids only.

Do declare them at inspection at the security screening. Security screeners will test declared liquids for explosives. Most breast-feeding mothers won’t have difficulties while aboard most aircraft. It is a good practice however to make yourself aware of the airlines policy regarding breast-feeding. Contacting the airline by e-mail the take the printout with you in case of dispute and have them suggest what might be appropriate. Infant formula milk can be easily accommodated while aboard.

When traveling through or changing airplanes in the UK you’ll have to make certain that your carry-on or cabin luggage meets UK screening specifications as set out by British authorities. Pack yours and your children’s essential lightly. Take only the main essentials aboard. Remember that all liquids and gels are to be checked through in your main luggage.
