[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get an early check-in and plan on doing nothing the day you land in London, because your kid will sleep that whole day. Nothing will change that.[/quote]

I have done this trip 5-6 times with my kids between the ages of 3-8 years old. I agree with early check in, you may have to book a day early just to ensure you have the whole day. But do not sleep the whole day!

Try to get your child to sleep as soon as possible on the flight out. When you arrive, get breakfast at the airport, check into the hotel and take a nap for 2 h max. Don’t close the blinds or even turn off the lights for the nap. Rally as hard as you can and go out for lunch and plan one activity for the afternoon. Get an early dinner and then early bedtime around 7-8 pm.

If you are flying into terminal 5 LHR, Gordon Ramsay’s plane food is a nice calm place to get breakfast. If it’s terminal 2, there is the queen’s arms or caffe Nero.

For the flight back, if you are on the afternoon flight, have your child wake up early that morning and then get your child to nap for the first 2-3 hours of the flight. Then wake them up for the remainder. By the time you get home, they should be ready for bed at 7/8 pm. [/quote]
