Thank you so much! Since my parents live on the East Coast, I fly cross country with my 3 and 1 yr old pretty often. I will add a couple of no brainers but essential things. Always curb side check, spending a couple of bucks not to have to lug everything inside is worth it. Be as organized as humanly possible with your carry ons, it makes security lines easy. If you are taking a night flight, bring footed pjs for the kids (less skin to touch the plane and no worries about losing socks). When dealing with a time change, don't try to make the adjustment in the first couple of days. My first day in Boston we generally eat breakfast at 10:30ish, lunch at 2:30ish and dinner at 7 and then they go to bed late too. I find though that they adjust within 2-3 days and then we are all set! I second the no sugar on the plane, healthy low sugar snacks (and lots of them) are the way to go! The backpack you bring on the plane for your kid also comes everywhere with us while we are visiting family members houses (who often do not have young kids), eating in restaurants, etc. I pick up small new things while on "vacation" and circulate the toys in and out so they don't get old and uninteresting. Finally, bring your kids favorite music for car rides once there, even for other people's cars, as everyone I think much prefers kids music to screaming kids. Happy Travels -- it really is worth it!
