Traveling with infant

I have two young children and have traveled with them by plane on long haul journeys. Our latest trip was a flight from London to Cartagena De Indias via Madrid and Bogota. The worst time was the one I did with my disabled son when he was 20 months old. We had a 5 hour delay due to fog and then a 12 hour flight. So therefore I would say pack extra drinks and diapers because a delay in not known about until it happens. When my baby was that sort of age took a lightweight travel cot, four bottles, soy formula powder, diapers and few favorite toys. I took bedding for the travel cot and a method of cleaning my baby's bottles. I packed clothing suitable for the climate that I went to. I live in England and at the moment the weather is hot. So I would suggest a sun shade on your baby's buggy. I hope that you will have a lovely trip to England to visit your relatives.

It's okay i think. You can take the flight, but you must make sure your infant can sleep well or take a nap because if he/she crying can disturb other passengers.

My daughter, her 9 month old daughter, and I flew for about 3 hr. and this is what helped out. We flew when the baby would normally take a nap. We took several extra bottles of water (now you have to take the empty bottles and fill once you pass security. Talk to the flight attendant to find out what they can and can not do to help you(warm a bottle etc). Above all pay the extra to get a seat for the baby it will be more comfortable for you, your mother and your baby. Check with the airline to how they treat a car seat and stroller. Many will not count them as luggage and you can check the stroller at the airplane door and pick it up when you exit the plane.

I am going to travel from US to Hong Kong with my 10 months old(by then) alone. I have read a lot of the articles, tips on the internet. I think there are some tips that I think it is important: pack light, prepare everything for the baby dual like the diapers and clothes, bring your baby's favourite toys, stroller and sling will be useful. At least youwill have your mom with you so you will have a helper for switching to hold the baby but I will be flying alone for almost 20 hours of flight + a stop so... I can't imagine what will happen, just be prepared. So you are flying internationally as well, I wonder if you have to pay 10% of the adult ticket fare? Because I haven't booked the ticket and I saw they charge 10% of the fare for the baby if flying internationally.
