Flying with a baby? It’s equal parts exciting and terrifying, plus you’re basically packing your entire house. Between diaper blowouts, cranky moments, and keeping a tiny human happy in cramped quarters – even short flights feel overwhelming.
I was a total mess on my first flight with my little one. Since then, I’ve survived 24 flights with babies and toddlers – everything from quick California hops to marathon trips to Bangkok and London.
I’m sharing all these guides and tips because I’ve been there. I know that pit-in-your-stomach feeling when you’re wondering if traveling with kids was a terrible idea. But I want you to actually feel excited about these adventures instead of stressed about the logistics – because once you know what to expect, it gets so much easier.
