A special audio channel featuring classic children's stories is available on American Airlines' 757 aircraft and wide-body planes. In cooperation with McDonalds's and Kid Rhino, United has created McDonald's Magical Radio, an in-flight audio channel for children. It is available from May 1 to Aug 31 systemwide, and all year on United's 777 aircraft. Virgin has a special kids' TV channel featuring such shows as Godzilla, Rugrats and Wallace , and Gromit , as well as a selection of Nintendo games. An audio channel will be introduced later this year.
Some airlines also offer amenity kits for infants.
Virgin gives parents in Upper Class a tote bag with a bottle, pacifier, bib and towel, while economy-class passengers have access to diapers, bottles and baby food. In addition to games and videos, most airlines prepare special meals for children, and some have infant meals as well. These meals must be ordered 24 hours in advance. Continental's kids' meals include such items as tater-tots, chicken nuggets and sandwiches. United offers McDonald's Friendly Skies Meals, with a cheeseburger, applesauce, raisins, McDonald's cookies and a toy.
