Airplane travel with a baby can be a challenge under the best of circumstances.
Experts say the key to a smooth flight with a small child is planning ahead.
You cannot count on an airline providing your child snacks. Games, toys you want to think about things that soothe your child. Ask the ticket agent for the bulkhead, and even with a baby under two who could fly free on your lap, consider buying a ticket. You'll be more comfortable and he'll be safer in his car seat. Avoid weekends, when vacationers tend to fly, and early morning or late afternoon flights that may be filled with business travelers.
