Flying is a stressful situation, period.  But when you add children into the mix, it makes the situation even more hectic.  Even though you have children, it shouldn’t make your trip a bad thing.  Instead, think on the positive side and experiences you’ll encounter.  When you fly with kids, there are a few things you’re going to need to remember.  One thing you need to make sure is that your kids are under control and secondly, make sure you have the appropriate items when flying.  Here’s a detailed list on what you should have in your carry-on bag –

• First Aid Kit
• Any type of tissue and/or baby wipes
• Any prescriptions or over the counter medicine
• Portable DVD player with DVDs
• Game Boy / PSP with games
• Crayons / Coloring Book
• Deck of playing cards
• Books
• Snacks (fruit snacks, crackers, cookies)
• Diapers
• Blanket and pillow
• Pacifier
• Favorite stuffed animal

These are the major essentials you’ll need when flying with your kids.  Make sure that they have entertainment because we all know how much of an attention span they have.  There’s never enough entertainment that you can bring.  I would advise that you bring all of your children’s essentials in one bag so that it’s easier to keep track of.
