[quote=Anonymous]It's a long flight and at 5 months, it's a crapshoot with regards to how your child will behave.  A little younger, and it would be easier, but I would still go, with a few caveats.

We flew to California with our 5 month old this Christmas...he was awesome on the way out there, a nightmare on the way back.  We were delayed 4 hours on the way back, so it was a LONG travel day and he just couldn't handle it by the time we were finally under way.

If you plan to go, I highly recommend get a ticket you can cancel.  If your dc has an ear infection or you've been fighting off daycare colds/sickeness/etc.  I wouldn't go.  It's the middle of flu season too, so there's that to consider.

If you do end up going, I recommend wearing baby in a sling during the flight...the only way you'll be comfortable in today's coach class, or even better, buy a seat for DC's carseat.

As for vaccinations, I believe you don't need anything exotic to go to India.  I would consult with a pediatrician in advance, most definitely.[/quote]
