Not sufficient sleep beforehand so that the child fall asleep during the flight. Also a trip to whsmith to buy colouring books,a magazine with gadets, even better chosen by the child, so that he/she will be excited to get it. Favourite snack also would be handy plus an I pad with a favourite cartoon.

Hi Rose, there is a previous thread on this i will try and find it for you.


at that age an iPad and some kids headphones are a lifesaver. a small pillow is worth it so you can get her comfy. we have found that a selection of their books and toys (nothing with small parts to lose) is good - we tried new toys that they unwrapped but they weren't that interested, i also took their special nighttime toy.


dress her in comfy clothes which double as pjs i.e. comfy to sleep in


take a bottle with a straw, helps clear the ears. we use kids camelback ones.


take a change of top for you in case she has an upset tummy

We went on a flight with our then 3 year and 1 year old a couple of years ago (short haul) and we sat in those seats at the front (right hand side of plane) where you get a bit of extra legroom. Remember it making quite a big difference as the kids could spread out a bit and could even play on the floor! Think planes must have different sorts of legroom in different places (and kids can't go by emergency exits) but it might be worth investigating! Also remember feeling like we were hassling everyone around us a bit less than if we'd been in the middle of the plane...Good luck!

I normally travel on a 9.30pm flight.

I get to the airport earlier than need be.... let the little one run around to his hearts content, feed him.....

then when we get on the plane I brush his teeth before take off.... put him in a onesie.....

strap him up in his seat & just chill with him.

within a hour of the flight hes gone!

normally wakes up about an hour before we due to land.


I've been doing this for about 4 years now.... hes 5 by the way.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
