[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m preparing for a 24-hour economy flight with my 18-month-old, which includes one connection, and I’d love any suggestions on how to make the journey smoother for all of us. So far, we have a bunch of suction toys, his favorite books, snacks, milk, and fruits on our packing list.

What tips do you have for keeping my little one entertained and comfortable during such a long trip? Are there specific items or activities you recommend bringing along?

Thanks in advance!

Hey OP - we didn’t do a flight that long, but did do a 5ish hour flight. We did find our 18 mo liked headphones - for music or a story rather than a tablet, which we do use on planes but she wasn’t interested at that age. She also liked the popper toys, as well as a little writing tablet she could scribble on. She loved the in flight magazines, and any new / different food. I think an extra seat would be helpful if you are traveling alone, but mine hate car seats so the idea of putting them in one for long periods seems nuts to me (though I acknowledge it’s safer).
