Vacation spots are available from all across the globe, many of which are ideal for families with young children. Traveling with kids, however, is not always easy. Lengthy flights can be rough for even the most patient adults, but children can find them downright unbearable. Help ease that antsy and restless behavior with some of these simple tips.


Having the right meals and snacks readily available can make a world of difference. Keeping your children busy chewing on snacks not only helps to prevent boredom but also reduces the effects of air pressure changes in their ears. Whenever available, order your kids’ meals ahead of time to ensure their food of choice is on the plane. It’s also a good idea to bring your own low-sugar snacks such as fruit, cheese sticks, and crackers to avoid hunger pangs.


Electronics are an easy way to keep children entertained for extended periods of time. A tablet or smartphone can be preloaded with child-friendly apps, games, and movies. Choose a few that your child hasn’t seen beforehand to help keep their interest.

Break up the monotony of the journey by bringing along a few surprises. Small cars, dolls or new crayons and books can add a little excitement to the trip. Keep these under wraps and as a last resort for when nothing else seems to be working.
