Age-Based Fare Rules
Packing Checklist for Kids
- 🎒 Entertainment: Tablet with downloaded shows, coloring books, small toys
- 🍼 Snacks: Familiar snacks — airport food is expensive and unfamiliar
- 👕 Change of clothes: At least 1 extra set in cabin bag (spills happen!)
- 💊 Medicine kit: Children's paracetamol, band-aids, motion sickness tabs
- 🎧 Kids headphones: Volume-limited ones — protect their hearing
Survival Tips
- 🕐 Book nap-time flights: Kids sleep through = peaceful flight
- 🍬 Lollipop during landing: Sucking prevents ear pain in kids
- 🪑 Book front row: More legroom for play area + near lavatory
- 📱 Download offline content: Netflix downloads, games — no inflight WiFi needed
- 🗣️ Explain the process: Walk kids through security, boarding — reduces anxiety
