Carla recommends snacks, comfy clothes, movies, videogames, cards… Overnight trips are definitely easier if you're flying from the US to Spain or Portugal! #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @TravelCDV A4- The best way I've come across for a long flight is to keep your bag filled with the kids' most favorite bribe. They only make a fiasco when they get tired, bored or hungry. Have your strategies ready for these & you'll be at peace. (Book a bassinet if you've got a baby) #TTOT

A4 Handle long flights and jet lag by drinking lots of water 🥤, getting plenty of natural sunlight ☀️ and taking it easy after a long flight. Try to avoid naps, although it can be impossible to get little ones to keep their eyes open. Allow time in your plans to recover. #TTOT https://t.co/lk7q0XzjEG

A4- A late day or early evening trip to the pool will tire kids out and help get them used to a new timezone #ttot #travelingsession

A4 These sound like excellent actions to take for everyone but it must be hard for little kids. I like your idea of pacing things well for recovery. #TTOT https://t.co/hX05L678za

A4 A bag of bribes sounds excellent - their favourite and perhaps some "surprises"? #TTOT https://t.co/wrP1vRy2RI

A4: I don't have any kids but my parents used to tell me when I was younger to read books, watch films and just sleep as long as you can on the flight so that used to help quite a lot. #ttot

A4: day flights and 2-3 day stopovers! Max flight of 8 hours. At least if they are shits you aren’t trying to sleep as well and it’s no longer than a bad day at work. Bring books, favourite toys, take them for walks around the plane, make it as fun as you can. #ttot https://t.co/eRt1PBS81o

A4 Good tips from Carla. Night flights to Europe, esp Spain & Portugal? Could you tell why those destinations are best for night flight & kids? #TTOT https://t.co/0uAN3MXNFI
