13 hour flight with a 21 month old (Costa Rica)

Screen time sticker books sleep toys colouring snacks night flights are good as long as you can do little sleep yourself as they will need supervision. As dummy or bottle for take off and landing to help with ears popping

@Sara he uses a dummy so I’ve got that covered, so far I’ve got him a busy book thing with Velcro stickers zips and stuff like that, an LED drawing pad and this random talking card thing Hopefully a bit of bluey on the tablet will help as well

Naps also help kill the time lol I would just say do whatever you gotta do to keep him occupied without the guilt lol

He’s fighting his naps atm so hopefully that won’t be the case on the flight

We have done a few long hall flights. Longest being India which was 13 hours. We found to keep him happy 1) before the flight I tire the him out as much as possible. 2)dummy or milk in a bottle during take off and landing- it will equalise the pressure and stop their ears from hurting. 3) i pack my sons current favourite toys/ books (magnetic squares/ dinosaurs/ Lego duplo ) 4) new toys/ books (colouring book with magic markers/ stickers/ busy board/ stacking animals) 5) variety of snacks 6) I also have a small go bag which will have two nappies/ nappy wipes/ nappy cream/ one change of clothes/ towel. I will just need to take this neatly packed bag in with me change him. 7) detol wipes- the plane table and chairs are filthy. 8) I also download his favourite tv show My son currently loves stickers so I have bought a busy book with 3d stickers. Make sure to use a dummy for take off and landing.
