[quote=Anonymous]We travel to the UK every year with two kids so have experienced every age from 1 to 12.  Second the recommendation on begging for the bulkhead, and taking the later flight (we always take the 10 pm British Airways, or 10 pm United, flights - there's also a BA flight from BWI at 9:30).  It's totally survivable if you just make your peace with the fact that you will sacrifice your sleep to make your kids comfortable.  When they were little, we never adjusted their schedule when we were over there, so kids went to sleep at midnight or later and slept until noon or 1 - not the end of the world, unless you have stuff you have to get them out to do in the mornings.  On the LONG flight home, I was all about positive reinforcement and used a bag of Cadbury chocolate buttons - oh, look, you're not kicking the seat in front of you!  have a chocolate button!  I know rewarding with food isn't ideal, but they are tiny chocolate bits (about the size of a chocolate chip) and if I could give them 20 "you are doing great" chocolate moments in an 8 hour flight, we all felt good.[/quote]
