at what age would you take your baby in an airplane accross the country? - Page 2

Ugh... I have a 14 hr flight coming up in June. DS will be almost 1-year old and I'll be all by myself! SCARY! I'm so terrified that it will be hell for all involved. I didn't book a seat for him- on our direct flight it would have been another 2 thousand bucks. I think they do guarantee him one of those bassinet things, but he's probably too old/big for that no?

Anyway, closer to our flight date I'll be back on here scrounging around for ideas on how to keep DS happy and me sane for FOURTEEN hours. Yikes.

We flew with DS at 8 weeks (across the country), 8 months, 10 months, 17 mo, and 19mo. Before a year of age was the easiest. All but one were one or two flights totalling 4+ hours.

 

Why do you think it would be such a bother to him? There is a lot to look at and he's with his mama. I think you are over analyzing it.  Babies are pretty flexible and travel easily.

We went from Texas to Michigan when he was exactly 2 months old.  Didn't have a choice because we were moving and I couldn't sit in a truck for 24 hours.
