Flying with my toddler soon. Any tips??
Im flying to Ireland with my 18 month old in a couple of weeks and its just the two of us going. He is usually a well behaved wee man but like all toddlers cant sit still for 2 minutes and im stressing he is going to go nuts having to sit on my knee for so long.
Any tips would be great so I can be well prepared. Also whats the policies on food, water etc. Will I have to buy everything for him eat and drink at the airport after iv been through security?

As regard for keeping them entertained, just let him have a wonder up and down the aisle when the crew arent' serving. You'll stress both of you if you try to keep him on your knee for the duration, The crew don't normally mind as long as you aren't in their way.
Other than that, a couple of toys/books etc brought out one at a time help to keep them amused!
Best of luck and have a fab time!
I cant wait to go. Im visiting my friend who lives there now. She is 7 months pregnant with her first and I hope I dont get all broody seeing her bump!!

We took Kady to Tenerife in Feb when he was 18months and the best thing we took for the flight was the aquadraw sets and sticker books. We didn't show them him beforehand so it was a new novelty and it kept him occupied for a good while.
We didn't let him get down in the isles for the fear of him kicking up a barney when trying to get him back to the seat so kept him with us but it wasn't hard really. He was quite content playing with his new things and gawping at other people on the seats behind lol.
Hope you have a great time hun xxx
So I suggest you do the same, cause even if it is full you will get your pick of seats before the masses. Also don't' take the window seat, always take the isle cause if lo does get ansty or pukes, needs nappy change etc you can get out quickly & if there are spare seats, sitting with lo in the end will make other passengers think twice about sitting next to you.
I also took quite a few toys, like cars, books, coloring pencils but only let lo have one at a time & when I noticed him getting bored with one, swapped it over & he got distracted by the new one.
