[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally would go with the nonstop. I just flew nonstop to San Francisco from the east coast and back and there were several kids who looked as if they were your DD's age. They mostly played on their iPads the entire time or dozed. They all did extremely well on the plane with regards to behavior. I would also suggest bringing familiar snacks, as it is a long flight and there is no free food served any more (at least on United).  [/quote]

I thought I wasn't allowed to bring food from home? Are you talking about stuff bought from the terminal, like Auntie's pretzels or something? What food are they serving nowadays on flights from DC or Dulles to CA? Do they charge you like $5-$10 per snack on the plane?[/quote]

You can bring on board food from the terminal, as well as food from home. However, with regards to the food from home, it cannot be gel-like or in liquid form over 3.4 fluid ounces due to TSA rules. I've brought cheese, granola bars, candy, and protein bars through security multiple times with no problems. Filled water bottles cannot be brought through security.

The snack boxes on United typically include cookies, chips, popcorn, cheese and crackers, and nuts. The price is usually around ~$8 per snack box and only credit cards can be used for payment. [/quote]
