Tips for Traveling With Children By Plane

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Master Lock. All opinions are 100% mine.

This past December we took our first trip to Disney World as a family, and while we had a blast, it was a bit overwhelming at first. We have traveled numerous times, it was our first time traveling on a plane with 2 children. Traveling by plane not only meant that I had to limit what I pack which is hard for me, I tend to over pack in case there are any “what ifs.” I like to be prepared and have everything we could possibly need. I have traveled numerous times by plane thoughout the last 10 years but I was always alone, and almost always packed everything in a carry on bag, and didn’t check any luggage. Our Disney trip was the first time we were checking a bag in quite some time and we no longer could find any of our previous locks to help secure our belongings.

Tips for Traveling With Children:

Small carry on bag for children that they can fit under the seat
- snacks
- small toys
- coloring books & crayons
- tablet/iPad/DS
- headphones
Preload tablet/iPad with Disney movies and games
Portable charger (we have the Panasonic QE-PL202W Portable Charger)
Gum to help with ear popping if traveling by plane.
Some airports also have a kids area to help them release some energy.
