[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify, this is our first flight internationally taking two kids. We have family overseas who have never met them which is why we are taking this trip. I am not a masochist. I am simply trying to make it as comfortable as possible for my kids. Those of you who are telling me to keep them up so they will sleep on the plane I find interesting… I am considering giving them late afternoon naps instead of letting them sleep up until the minute we leave for the airport. Any other tips from those of you who have done overseas travel with young children (4 and under), I would love more advice – thank you!

I typically bring benadryl, Tylenol, and a thermometer, and make sure to get the correct dosages from your Dr.  My DS who is almost never sick and has had very few ear infections got a fever the first international flight we took.  He was miserable, we were miserable, and then he developed a sniffle and was more miserable from the pressure change and his sinuses.    The limit on liquid ounces does not apply to these medications.  Benadryl can also be used to help get your child to sleep on a long flight.  People disagree on this usage, but its something DS' doctor recommended for future flights, and it has come in handy.

We bring a bunch of cheap little gifts for each, wrapped.  We originally did this for during our flight, but it turned out to be more useful for all the delays a trip normally has.  [/quote]
