Does the idea of flying with a baby terrify you? I remember my first flight with our young son, it was actually THREE flights to get from Toronto to Rio for a volunteering trip and it was TOUGH!
But flying with babies has gotten easier over time, and as I am flying alone with a 9 month old from Toronto to LAX (with our SEVENTH baby, Phoebe), I thought I'd take the opportunity to share some of my flying with a baby tips to make it an easier experience. If you're flying alone with a baby in the near future, stay tuned!
AIRLINES THAT HAVE DECENT ROOM IN ECONOMY CLASS: Air Canada and West Jet. Those are the only two airlines I will fly if given the choice for US and Canadian trips.
Anytime I have booked a ticket on a more budget carrier to save money, I have paid for it in discomfort. There just isn't much room between you and the seat in front of you so it can get quite uncomfortable for you and baby if you are holding your baby in your lap for the entire duration of the flight.

Your baby is adorable. I am travelling alone with my 14 month old and 3 year old from Lima to Miami on a humanitarian flight since we got stuck in Peru when visiting family. This will be another ball game for me to travel with 2 under the current circumstances. Thanks for the tip on how to go to bathroom, may have to do the same and hope my almost 4 year old stays on the seat. My 1 year old will NOT be sitting so happily like yours, he just wants to go down and explore if not he will yell BAD, wish me luck!

Thank you for for sharing, informative video. Question: which airline do you recommend is best with space - I'll be traveling with my grandson.

@ThePossibilityMom 3 жыл бұрын

I found the bigger airlines had more space- Air Canada and West Jet in Canada, United in USA- whereas the budget airlines were way too tight. I would check if you can see the space between seats before you book and compare flights, but when in doubt I would pay a bit more for a bigger name airline.

So glad! That's a long one. But we did three legs on a return flight from Brazil once with a 1 year old. THAT was a toughie but we survived :)

awww you are so Amazing! thanks for your tips, you make it look so easy. I am soon travelling to the UK from Ottawa with a 8months old and Hubby too, my biggest worry was how am i going to hold my baby while seating, is he going to sleep on me as well as he does n his crib? toys to bring! i thought i would have to buy a travel stroller bag , surprised airlines provide one supper helpful!

@ThePossibilityMom Жыл бұрын

Definitely ask if the flight is full, so you may be able to get reseated with an empty seat beside you to let him rest there. And if he sleeps on you not quite as well as the crib, at least it’s only 5 or 6 hours 😄

So informative. Thank you I just wanted to know where did you keep the stroller before boarding the plane or who took that? I am a bit confused about it.

@ThePossibilityMom Жыл бұрын

Great question! You can bring the stroller right to the plane and gate check it. So they take it from where I left it and put it under the plane, and when you land you find it right back there. When you are about to board they will give you a tag for it

Thank you for the video. I am Planning to fly from Seattle to Bali island solo with my 9 mo baby this spring. It’s a long trip with 3 stops. Idk if i could do it 😭 its been 3 years i have not been visiting my family and they have not seen my baby for the first time too.

You can do it! We have a new baby and our family has not met him in person either, so I feel you. When you get there it will feel like you did something amazing.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the great video! I saw you checked the infant car seat but I did not see the base part of it? Where do you put the base when you travel?

@ThePossibilityMom 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there, great question! This carseat is able to work without the base. The base is nice because it's very secure, but you can also just loop the seatbelt through part of the seat. Happy travels!

@ThePossibilityMom 4 жыл бұрын

natphin not a dumb question! The baby is actually not allowed to be strapped to you during take off and landing- if I understand correctly the logic is that if you had to evacuate, you can hand the baby off to someone else

This has been very helpful..thank you Lisa! Your indeed a supermommy.. love your confidence. We are travelling in 2 weeks with my almost 4 month old baby.. hope its gonna be as easy as it looks on screen 😁😅 our first flight is for 3 hours, later this year again we have another travel booked that will be a 9 hour flight.. i have a quick question, he loves music so much and soothes only when he hears Marc Anthony or Shakira.. was wondering how to play this onboard.... cant play loud music as the other passengers will get disturbed so am planning to buy him a pair of headphones for babies ...is this a good idea? Or is there an alternative? Any tips would do..

@ThePossibilityMom Жыл бұрын

I have never tried that! We used noise cancelling headphones on a baby once but I haven't tried soothing them with familiar music. I say it's worth trying out!
