replying to @Australia @Australia A1 Since I’m not a parent, I’d say: earplugs, eyemasks for me, candy, and cartoon-stocked tablets for the kids! #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A1 If they’re young, time their naps and make sure you bring things to keep them occupied in case the entertainment system isn’t working. #TravelSkills

Best tips for long flights with kids? The big box of Benedryl from Costco. And maybe some vodka. ;-) #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A1 Keep them entertained with media. A movie works. iPads are a parents’ best friend. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A1 Don’t rely on the plane’s entertainment systems. Not every airline has them and sometimes they break. Be sure to bring your own device and have it fully charged. #TravelSkills

A1: I would imagine that iPads are the way to go, but extra drowsy Dramamine would work too… #Travelskills #NotAParent

A1 We hear great things about Travelpack from @TropicCandycorn, with things like the unicorn-shaped zen pillow, infused with lavender oil, inflatable world globe, stickers, mini flashlight, crayons & other noise-and mess-free surprises: https://t.co/4Q2yItJnur #TravelSkills

Dealing w/ kids on a long-flight isn't easy, but parents today have it FAR better than a few years ago w/ iPads, streaming movies & other entertaiment options. All we had back in the day were books and one movie for everyone on the plane on those tiny screens! A1 #TravelSkills

replying to @JimByersTravel @JimByersTravel So true. Not sure what we would do without an iPad. We can usually stop Jack in his tracks with it. #TravelSkills

Q1 A dedicated children's inflight entertainment channel with 45+ hours of content should do the trick. That way everyone in the family gets to watch what they want. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A1 On long-haul flights, you are least likely to find kids in exit rows. Might be worth paying a little extra for! #TravelSkills

replying to @Alamo @Alamo On long flights (and drives) we used to parcel out snacks in small quantities at regular intervals. A nice treat once an hour is a good way to break things up for kids. #travelskills

A1: On a long haul flight with kids, I would recommend books and audiobooks! It would be a good time to read series, such as Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia and Arthur! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A1 On flights to Australia, make sure kids have a full, active day before they board in the evening so they’ll be ready for bed and wake up the next day ready for the land Down Under. #TravelSkills
