[quote=Anonymous]-also traveled w/ my twins when they were very young.
-did not buy extra seats.
-booked bulkhead, that way they can stand and bounce in front of you for part of the trip
-made joke pre-apologizing to people around us when we boarded (I swear, that helped!)
-tell flight attendants when you board it's your first trip with them
-check on the website when you buy tickets that you need extra help. have the cart waiting for you to take you between gates or to baggage claim
-check stroller at gate. i've never had a problem w/ that
-yes, you will have to walk them up and down the aisles when you can. also do some exercises with them on your lap. Try to get as much energy out as possible b/f you board, ignore others and let them go wild in the waiting area
--i've never had to use the 'leash' thing
--read what the parenting sites have to say about flying and ear pain, and follow the advice
--bring brand new toys as distractions

It is not awful. We found it totally doable. I'm sure it varies by kids as obviously each one is different, but although there were surely unpleasant moments it was not anything that would warrant me warning you not to go
