[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m planning Chicago to Tokyo with two little kids. Our flight leaves around 5:30pm, lands around 8:30pm. My plan is to not make them try to sleep. They can snack and watch and play. If they get 3-4 hours of sleep, fine. Then we check into a hotel at the airport and hopefully all sleep. My one fear is that my five year old will sleep a full night on the plane and then be raring to go when we get to Tokyo. [/quote]

My worry would be is that they'll fall asleep for the last 5-6 hours of the flight when they are exhausted, then be up in Tokyo until 3 am, and then you're screwed. [/quote]Fair enough, but what else to do? Let them sleep a lot on the plane and they'll be up all night in Tokyo. I think my only hope is us planning to be extra tired when we arrive. It's currently planned so that we have to clear customs at Haneda and get to our beds in the domestic terminal. We have a connecting flight to Osaka early the following afternoon. The day after arrival is planned as an easy day - all we have to do is get from Haneda to our hotel in Kyoto. (And for anyone thinking we should take the train from Haneda to Kyoto, the international flights were about a hundred dollars cheaper per person to connect to Osaka/KIX instead of terminating in Tokyo. Open jaw, return nonstop via Tokyo.)[/quote]
