The screaming and crying of babies don’t seem to stop no matter what you do or feed them with. Whether it is your baby’s first flight or the second, it makes no difference and you have to be well prepared before flying with a baby to avoid any unpleasant circumstances.
Here are some tips to keep in mind and follow before flying with a baby or a toddler.

Make sure you go through intense research and choose an Airline with staff that are kid-friendly. The Airline will be well equipped and will be hospitable to give special attention to babies in case of emergency.
Pick a time out to fly according to your baby’s schedule
Make sure you fly according to your baby’s schedule. You can fly when it is your baby’s bedtime so that they fall asleep shortly after takeoff.
Fly direct
Avoid taking flights with a layover or hopping flights. This can disrupt your baby’s schedule and make them irritable.
