- Well, how can I fly somewhere? - My daughter was born to Tanya eight months ago. "Imagine, what if she describes herself on the plane?" Or worse? How will I change her clothes? At all ... And to sleep to lay? In the armchair it is uncomfortable to hold the whole way on your hands - it's also not an option to carry a cradle with you - it's easier to shoot yourself ... I looked at a friend, with a doomed look of a winding curl on my finger, I thought: is it really that hard? But after all, judging by the pictures in Instagram, somehow people fly. And not always these people are stars who have a business class or even their own plane. No sooner said than done. We found out that for the comfort of your baby are ready to do on the plane.

Three components of the road: sleep ...
Many airlines are completely freeprovide cradles for babies. But they are not available in all aircraft and in limited quantities. It is better to order it no later than three days before departure. The carrycot on the plane, as a rule, is attached to the wall in front of the first row of seats. If there is no such division in an aircraft, and only a curtain separates business and economy classes, then there will be no cradle in such an aircraft. Fortunately, small planes only fly short distances. But the big and beautiful Boeing 777, Boeing 767, Airbus 330, Airbus 340 are most often equipped with all the "children's" amenities. If the airline denied a cradle, do not despair ahead of time. Come to check-in early and check with the airline employee if they can provide you with it. In many airlines, cradles are issued on a first come, first served basis. If several babies are flying on the flight, then there is a chance that someone will not have enough. If you are abroad and the airline employee does not speak Russian, then remember the code word: "bassinet" or "carry-cot" (carrycot). You will be given a crib after take-off, when the "Fasten your seat belts" display goes out. The flight attendant will install it. Please note that each airline has its own restrictions on the child's allowed weight and height. As a rule, the cradle can be used if the child weighs up to 8-12 kg and is up to 65-70 cm tall. For more information, check with the airline you are flying. By the way, large and beautiful Boeings and Airbuses are also equipped with changing tables. Folding. They are in the toilets. The flight attendant will be happy to show you exactly where and how to use them. So do not worry that the child will have to change the diaper in full view of the entire salon, poisoning the lives of the neighbors in the salon.

... eat
Specialized baby food (BBML, CHML)offer almost all airlines - some for free, and some for an additional fee. You can order it when booking a tour from a tour operator or when buying a ticket from an air carrier. Like any special food, the stewardess's children's dinner should be brought first of all - before they start serving the other passengers of the salon. This is very convenient, because at first you can feed the child, and then comfortably eat yourself. Each airline has its own approach to the formation of a special children's menu. It can be offered at all or only on long flights, include or not include a hot dish. But almost everywhere you have to choose between it and the standard food. Therefore, before stopping at the children's menu, ask the tour operator or air carrier what kind of dishes are included in it. By the way, any adult can order a specialized food. You need to choose it when you buy a ticket. The menu is quite wide: dietary food, kosher, vegetarian and others.
... and play
Many airlines care about entertainmentsmall travelers on board and provide special game sets. Aeroflot, for example, gives children cute backpacks with markers, coloring books or board games. And the children's channel shows cartoons. Ynga Gorbunova, mother of two children and a master of travel of the 80th level, gave us her advice. Create (buy) a million cognitive little things for the young brain. Fix-price, "Auchan" and fantasy to help you. Play! Reset the mask of an adult! To be a little princess, which the knight rescues from stra-a-ashnogo dr-r-rakona! 3. I do not see a terrible sin in cartoons. But my experience shows that if it is taboo-taboo for you, then it is not too difficult to cope without them. I sometimes sometimes just let myself rest. Read on:
