As a mother that did a lot of travelling when my kids were younger I can honestly say that I agree with Mikaylas mom in that you need to ensure that your child is occupied and try to pick a flight if possible that will fit in with whats best....I always heard kids screaming when take of and landing and I always made sure that at those times my kids were drinking from their bottles cause this kept them busy and then they would fall off to sleep... when awake same thing, keep them occupied, toys, pencils, colours books and so on...you really cannot expect kids to sit quietly with nothing to entertain them... and for those who are quick to judge - its not always as easy as it sounds... but we do our best !!!
