Can children fly without adults? Will the ticket be more expensive? What documents will be required

If you have children, then sooner or later a dilemma arises on the topic of when you can first fly to rest with a little peanut.

There are usually a million questions: at what age can children fly, what are the nuances, what to take with you on a plane, and in general, how to transfer the flight as comfortably as possible? You will receive answers to all these and other questions in our article.

Child ticket: until how many months is free and what is the discount for children from 2 to 12 years old?

So, Firstly you need to know that a special children's plane ticket is bought for a child. This will save you cash, and also indicate that you are traveling with your child.

Exists two types children's tickets:

infant(INF) is a category of very young children from 0 to 2 years old;
child(CHD) - category of children from 2 to 12 years.

Depending on the airline you choose infant ticket price may be different. Some airlines offer a 90% discount on international flights, but the remaining 10% of the cost often does not include airport taxes and fees.

Other airlines may even allow a baby to fly for free, i.e. at a 100% discount, provided that the child is in the arms of the parents, in other words, a ticket without a seat, or a "zero" ticket.

The absence of payment, however, does not mean at all that you can not issue a children's ticket at all. In his absence, you simply will not be allowed to board the aircraft with the child. When flying domestic flights often the discount is 100%.

It should also be remembered that one adult can fly with only one child at the maximum discount, the rest of the children must be issued a child ticket with a seat.

Concerning children's luggage , then for babies under 2 years old it is only 10 kg and a stroller.

With category child things are a little different: airfare discount in any case is 50% of the cost of an adult ticket. But the restrictions are the same as for adults.

By the way, seat for a child, the child category should be mandatory! A child over 2 years of age is not allowed to fly in the arms of their parents.

There are also situations where your child turns 2 years old while traveling. In this case, everything, again, depends on the airlines. There are companies that allow you to fly in both directions at the infant fare, while others require you to purchase both tickets at the child fare, others are more loyal and allow passengers to fly there at the fare for children under 2 years old, and back at the fare from 2 years.

The situation is the same with tickets if the child celebrates his 12th birthday during the trip. Be sure to specify this point when ordering or buying tickets.

Rules for flying with a baby: is it worth it and how to transport a baby?

The first and main question - are there any age restrictions if you fly with a very tiny one? The answer is simple: they are not. Unless, of course, there are contraindications to the flight (you should ask your pediatrician about this).

During landing and takeoff Babies are encouraged to give a pacifier, a bottle of water or tea, or breastfeeding if you are breastfeeding. This must be done in order to remove the feeling from the baby. This feeling arises from the sudden pressure drops that occur just at the moments of takeoffs and landings.

You should also not feed the child tightly before making the flight - he can easily vomit. It can be nauseating for no apparent reason, usually such troubles occur with a tired and sleepy baby.

If your child is over six months old, take a few toys with you on the plane to keep the baby busy in case he gets too bored or just gets naughty.

By the way, you should know that the Restricted Liquids Act does not apply to baby food . Therefore, do not hesitate to take with you what your baby may need during the flight: be it tea, juice, compote, or diluted infant formula. You can also take the mixture in dry form, and at any time just ask hot water at the flight attendant.

Regarding hygiene baby during the flight, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Almost all aircraft have folding tables in the toilet, using which you can carry out all the necessary procedures.

How to send a child alone on a trip to Russia and abroad - escort service

Sometimes situations arise when a child needs to be sent by plane somewhere alone. Naturally, this causes a lot of questions and conflicting feelings among parents. However, we dare to assure you - independent flights of children have been practiced for a long time, and there is nothing dangerous or terrible in this.

First of all, you need to know that without the accompaniment of parents, however, with the accompaniment of the airline children have the right to fly from 5 to 12 years old. From 12 to 18 years old, almost all carriers allow flights without any accompaniment at all.

There is a service called "unaccompanied minors". It makes it possible, for an additional fee, to entrust the child to the employees of the airline that was chosen for the flight.

Thus, your child will not lose sight of the entire flight, and you can be sure that the child is not lost and flew to destination of his journey, after which he was handed over from hand to hand to the person who met him.

This service is ordered directly when booking tickets. However, its use is possible only on direct flights, and is not possible when using charters. Be careful - not all airlines have such an offer for parents in their arsenal.

When sending a little traveler on his independent tour, you should know that he will need:

Children's travel document;
Visa, if necessary;
An application from the parents, which describes in detail all the information about the child, information about the escort and meeting party with all contact details;
Notarized consent of both parents to the departure of the child abroad, accompanied by a third party.

You must definitely accompany your baby to the airport, and there sign an accompaniment permit. It is also important that at the airport upon arrival the child must be met exclusively by the person who was previously indicated in the application. He must have a document proving his identity with him.

Price for such a service varies depending on the airline, and ranges from 50 to 100 euros. IN Russian airlines the average price is 40 euros.

What should parents take with them?

Each parent will have their own list, depending on the needs of the child. We in turn we recommend to take:

baby bottle with water/tea/juice;
a pacifier, unless of course your child uses it;
several diapers in order to be able to maintain the hygiene of the baby;
a pack of wet wipes;
a few toys that your child loves, so that in case of whims there is something to distract the baby;
baby food, if suddenly you are not satisfied with what will be offered to you on board;
mints in case the child gets sick;
tablet, book, coloring book or music player for older children;
a change of clothes in case the child spills or gets dirty;
a warm jacket or a small blanket - it is often quite cool on the plane;
trash bag.

A few tips for caring parents in the end:

If you need a children's menu on board, you should notify the airline about this in advance, at least a day before the expected departure.
If you ordered a seat for the infant category, you must have a car seat with you, which is also suitable for aircraft. Information about this is usually indicated on the label of the car seat itself. Or ask special cradle with the airline, again, no less than a day before the intended flight.
Passengers with children have full right register out of order. However, be prepared for the fact that this will cause a flurry of discontent among other passengers.

A stroller-cane, if you took it with you, does not have to be checked in as luggage. You can drive it to the very gangway of the plane, and then give it to the flight attendant, who, in turn, will give it to you when you exit the plane.

If the child did not have time to eat, and the food has already cooled down, ask the flight attendant to warm it up. She has no right to refuse your request.
Try to choose the time of the flight so that it falls during the period of sleep of the child according to his daily routine. So you and he will transfer the flight as easily as possible.
Make sure that the child is not afraid of the flight. Explain to him in detail in advance what will happen when you arrive at the airport. This will free you from unnecessary questions during the journey, and will allow the child to realize what will happen next.
Put yourself in the place of other passengers as much as possible. This will help you adjust the behavior of the baby so that he does not interfere with anyone, and does not cause complaints and irritation.
Convince your child to go to the toilet while still at the airport, as he is often occupied by other passengers on the plane.
Do not get angry, do not freak out, and in any case do not beat the child. Try to solve all the nuances calmly, do not spoil the mood for yourself or your child.

Successful flight!

Traveling long distances is much more convenient and faster with the help of an airplane. Is it possible for a child to fly without parents if they are not able to accompany him?

The answer to this question depends on the age of the children. Each airline sets individual requirements for the carriage of minors with and without escort.

Can children fly on an airplane?

Until recently, flying with newborn babies and children under one year old was considered undesirable. The aircraft were not equipped for comfortable travel with a young child.

However, at the moment this problem has been solved, although some airlines still have some age restrictions.

Most carriers do not prohibit flights with newborn children. Passengers can go to another city or country already on the seventh day after giving birth, if they have no medical contraindications.

However, experts in the field of medicine recommend using air travel after reaching the age of three months for small passengers. In this case, the child more easily endures the stresses that await him on the journey (pressure drops, low oxygen levels, etc.).

Is it possible to send a child alone on a plane?

If the parents are unable to accompany the child on air travel, the child may fly alone or be accompanied by an adult. Each carrier company sets individual requirements.

By general rule sending a child under the age of five, alone, unaccompanied will not work. He can fly only if there is an adult accompanying him, that is, a person over 18 years old.

If the child is between 5 and 12 years old, parents or guardians have the right to use the escort service from the airline. In this case, an employee of the escort service or a flight attendant will follow the minor passenger. This service is paid, its cost is set by the carrier company.

Most often, children over 12-14 years old are allowed to travel unaccompanied. In this case, a ticket for a minor passenger is purchased at the cost provided for an adult. The rules of carrier companies do not prohibit ordering an escort service.

Some airlines have stricter age requirements for unaccompanied children. So, Aeroflot allows a person from 12 years old to travel independently, and Delta - only from 15 years old.

Rules for the flight of minor children in Russia

In addition to the age restrictions listed above, some airlines do not allow children to travel unaccompanied by their parents if there are transfers. For example, Delta only allows transportation of a child from 5 to 7 years direct flight.

How can you send a child alone on an airplane if there are connections? If the age of a minor passenger is from 8 to 14 years old (in some cases up to 12 years old), transfers are allowed when ordering an escort service, that is, under the supervision of flight attendants.

In most cases, children over the age of 12-14 can travel independently and direct, and connecting flights.

To send a child with or without an escort, parents must comply with several important rules:

book tickets in advance;
prepare certain documents for a minor passenger;
bring essentials with you (comfortable and warm clothes, wet wipes, baby food, medicines, toys, etc.);
notify the carrier in advance about the flight of an unaccompanied child.

Pregnant women and underage passengers cannot purchase tickets with seats from emergency exit. Only the legal representatives of the child (his parents, guardians, adoptive parents or guardians) are able to issue an escort service.

Documents required for the flight

The flight of a child with or without an escort is not possible without two documents:

identity card of a minor passenger;
a written parent to leave, certified by a notary.

The last document will be needed when international transportation if the child is flying on an airplane without guardians, parents or guardians. If a minor citizen is sent to another city or country with his mother or father, a notarized consent to travel from the second parent will also have to be issued.

Depending on the situation, other papers may be required, for example, a visa, a document containing personal information about the accompanying person, the citizen meeting the minor passenger and the child himself.

How to send a child alone on a plane?

Legal representatives must fill out a special form for the carriage of an unaccompanied passenger, their form depends on the airline.

To complete these forms, you need to have the following documents on hand:

representative's passport;
child's identity card;
a document confirming the relationship between a minor and an adult (for example, a birth or adoption certificate).

The application and the application are filled out at the offices of agencies involved in the sale of air tickets, or directly at the branch of a particular airline.

The application must indicate the personal data of the person meeting the child, as well as his photograph. A citizen must be at the airport at the place of arrival in time for arrival desired flight and carry a passport or other identification document.

When sending a child to another city or country with or without an escort, you must take care in advance of the list of things that should be with him on board. We are talking about warm and comfortable clothes (it can be both hot and cold on the plane, depending on the season and country of destination).

Many transport companies offer a children's menu to choose from. It is recommended to order food in advance for the child, especially if he has medical contraindications or religious beliefs.

In addition, at long flight it is better to take with you additional fruits, cookies or other foodstuffs that are not forbidden to be taken on board.

Most airlines accept newborn passengers for flights 7-10 days after birth. At the same time, in some cases, parents may require a medical certificate on the possibility of allowing the baby to fly.

It's no secret that the plane is the fastest means of transportation from point A to point B. Moreover, for many, this mode of transport has become commonplace. Someone now and then flies constantly on business trips, someone just on vacation several times a year, and someone sends their children to visit relatives or to study. Therefore, for sure, parents wondered at what age a child is allowed to fly independently. Today we will talk about this topic and give those who are interested a clear idea and comprehensive answers to exciting questions.

You may be surprised, but all airlines have long established the process of "accompanying children on the plane" without parents. What does it mean? You can absolutely not worry and not worry that your child will get lost on the road. He will get to the desired destination without any problems.. Moreover, your child will be unspeakably happy, having made the flight on his own, as an adult (this moment will really be remembered forever), besides, he will be under the supervision of a flight attendant who will not leave the child hungry, feed and water him, take him to the toilet, and always will be there if suddenly your little traveler starts to worry.

Air travel for children

What you need to know

Every parent should remember that when sending a young traveler by plane, it is necessary additional service to accompany your child, and you order it at. You must also indicate the age of the minor.

Well, then, already in an Aeroport, you, after presenting your ticket and checking in, transfer the child to representatives of the air carrier company. And from that moment on, your child is under the supervision of ground service employees, who, together with him, go through all the checks, and after that handed over to the flight attendant. From the moment of boarding and to the destination, the child will be supervised by a flight attendant.

Upon landing of an airliner stewardess passes the child to the staff airlines that go through all the checks with him, after which he handed over to the receiving party. As for those who meet, the parents indicate in the cover letter who will meet the traveler.

Important! In the documents, you indicate the Surname and Name of the person meeting, you can also indicate several people if you do not know who exactly will meet the escort.

From what age is a solo flight allowed?

Now in more detail about how old you can fly on an airplane without the accompaniment of parents. It should be noted that all air carriers practically operate according to a single scheme, but the rules may vary. Therefore, often children can fly from the age of 5, of course, accompanied by a representative of the air carrier.

An independent flight of children on an airplane, accompanied by a flight attendant, is allowed from the age of 5.

Can minors fly on an airplane unaccompanied? As for the flight Unaccompanied, then this option is considered only if the child has reached the age of 15. Moreover, the possibility, at what age a child can fly alone on an airplane, also varies between companies. For example, such air carriers as British Airways can accept children from the age of 12, Delta and KLM - from the age of 14, and UIA - from the age of 15. However, if the parent still wants to play it safe, until the age of 17, you can order the escort service.

Please note that children between the ages of 5 and 8 can fly direct! From 8 to 12 years old, transplantation under the supervision of services is acceptable, and from 12 to 15 years old - independent.

What documents may be needed

If you are sending your child abroad alone, he will need documents such as:

air ticket;
a document certified by a notary, where there is parental consent for the departure of a minor traveler;
document for escort (it is issued by an employee of the air carrier);
visa (if necessary);
a statement from you indicating the name of the child, his data, as well as the name of the host or several people. In addition, it is necessary to indicate in the application the phone numbers and addresses of both the meeting party and your personal one.

Important! If children are flying within the country, all of the above documents must be presented, but without a visa. If the children have already reached the age of 16, then they do not need permission from their parents.

Therefore, if you were wondering if it is possible to fly an airplane unaccompanied at the age of 16, the answer is obvious - yes!

You can not worry about the children, sending them under the supervision of a flight attendant

Air carrier selection

When booking a ticket it is necessary to study in detail the Does the airline have an unaccompanied child service?. Most budget organizations, such as Ryanair and WizzAir, do not supervise children either in flight or on the ground. Because if you have a desire to send a child through budget airline, read the rules of such organizations in detail. If the company does not provide such a service, then you should look for another carrier.

There are also companies that do not accompany children on connecting flights or refuse to allow children to fly at night unaccompanied by adults. Therefore, you should carefully read all the nuances and rules of the chosen air carrier, and also pay attention to age restrictions, from how many years children are allowed to fly without an adult.

Children under 16 are allowed to fly without parents under the supervision of a flight attendant

Compliance with the ground rules

If you send your child alone and unaccompanied by elders, it is worth considering that:

not via the Internet, but in airlines, ticket offices or travel agencies;
buy your ticket early, since there may be a limit on the number of children and there simply will not be free space for your traveler. Therefore, if the number of seats for children is more than enough booked on a flight, you will be denied an escort;
the child must come to the airport with an adult: parent or senior accompanying person;
should arrive at the airport early as you will need to fill out some paperwork. IN without fail take your ID card with your photo, passport;
at the airport you will need leave an application and permission to accompany the child, after which you escort your child to the registration desk;
also, do not rush to leave after you have transferred the child to the services, you wait for the plane to take off;

Flight of children accompanied by flight attendants

Ticket price

As for the price of an escorted ticket for a young traveler, it may vary based on the pricing policy of the air carrier. It should be noted that without discounts, that is, the ticket is sold at full price.

Moreover, in addition to the cost of the ticket, an escort service is also paid. She often fluctuates $50 to $100(depending on the age category, the number of transfers and the distance of the liner).

Often parents are forced to take air travel with baby. In some situations, representatives of a minor passenger are not able to accompany him while on board the aircraft.

How to act in such situations? At what age can infants and older children fly on an airplane? You will find answers to these questions in this article.

At what age can a child fly?

Carrier companies independently set age limits when purchasing a ticket for minor passengers.

In most cases, you can go on a trip the very next day after the birth of the baby, but in this case, you need to get a doctor's opinion confirming the absence of contraindications.

In practice, many airlines insist on flights with a child 7-10 days after birth. However, pediatricians recommend traveling by aircraft only after the newborn reaches the age of 3-4 months. In this case, the child more easily endures the loads that await him in flight (for example, sudden pressure drops).

If you decide to fly to another city or country with an infant, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for transporting minors established by the particular company.

At what age can a child fly alone?

Each carrier company sets individual requirements for the age of passengers traveling unaccompanied by adults. Children under the age of 4 or 5 cannot be on aircraft without official representatives (i.e. parents, adoptive parents, trustees or guardians).

At what age can you fly solo?

The answer to this question depends on the requirements of a particular airline. In most cases, a child is allowed to board the aircraft unaccompanied if he has reached the age of 12-14 years.

For example, Delta requires parents to send a minor under 14 on a trip with an accompanying adult (person over 18). full years), but children over 15 are able to travel independently.

At the same time, passengers from 12 to 18 years old are usually allowed to fly not only direct, but also connecting flights. In this case, age limits also depend on the internal policy of a particular carrier.

How old do you have to be to fly with an escort?

Most airlines offer an unaccompanied minor service. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 (carriers have the right to set other age limits) cannot travel without adult supervision.

If representatives are not able to fly with the child or send another person over 18 years of age with him, they must order the airline's escort service.

This must be done in advance when buying a ticket at the office of the carrier company. Representatives must complete the appropriate application issued by employees, providing detailed information about the child himself, the person who sees him off and meets him, the route along which he will follow.

The legislation of the Russian Federation also requires the provision of notarized parents for the flight of a child without adults or accompanied by a relative.

Can I count on discounts or free flights?

Citizens traveling with a small passenger under the age of two may not issue a separate ticket for the child. In this case, no extra bed, the baby flies on the lap of the parent.

When purchasing a ticket for international flight an additional fee may apply for children under the age of two (usually it does not exceed 10% of the ticket price of an adult passenger).

Do you have a stroller with you?

Free transportation of prams is only allowed with the purchase of a separate ticket for the baby. Otherwise, for this baggage you will have to pay a fee established by a particular airline.

If you wish to use a bassinet on board an aircraft, you should notify the staff at least 36 hours before departure.

When buying a ticket for a minor passenger between the ages of two and twelve years, citizens are provided with a discount of up to 50%. If older children are flying, the ticket is paid at the adult fare.

Carriers offer various discounts on children's tickets depending on the season, the number of passengers and the company's internal policy.

It should be noted that children and pregnant women are not provided with places near the emergency exit.

How to arrange a flight for an unaccompanied child?

Before purchasing a ticket, you should check with the selected airline how much you can fly on an airplane alone so that you do not have to order a paid escort service.

At the time of buying child ticket parents or representatives of the child must fill out a special form provided by the carrier (the form depends on the chosen company).

To issue these documents, a citizen must provide an airline employee with:

own passport;
child's identity card;
notarized consent of representatives to the flight of a minor without adults;
a document containing information about the child himself, the persons who see him off at the airport and meet him at the place of arrival.

Registration is impossible without a document that can confirm the type of relationship with the child. So, parents provide the airline with a birth certificate, adoptive parents - about adoption, etc.

What items can be taken on board the aircraft?

Carrier companies allow you to take on the plane things that a child may need during the flight, namely:

baby food or other products (fruits, cookies, etc.);
medicines;
books;
toys;
feeding bottle;
liquid in a volume of not more than 100 ml.

In most cases, a special children's menu awaits a child on board, which parents can choose in advance, gift sets, entertaining video or audio programs.

Admissible for carriage depends on whether the child has a separate ticket and the selected fare.

It is worth noting that when flying with children under the age of two, meals on board must be ordered in advance. If the company employees were not warned 36 hours before departure, the passenger with a child will be denied children's menu.

Parents do not always have the opportunity to go on a trip with their children, and therefore sometimes it becomes necessary for an unaccompanied minor to fly around Russia. For example, teenagers are sent to their relatives in another city, on vacation or to study in special camps. At the same time, parents do not need to go with them, and sometimes it is impossible to do this because of work or for other reasons. Children are afraid to fly without their parents, and they, in turn, are worried, letting their child go on an independent trip. Fortunately, Aeroflot and other companies offer their customers accompaniment of underage children. And therefore, to the question of whether it is possible to send them yourself, the answer is yes. How to send a child and can I not fly with him? What flight rules are provided in the Russian Federation for such passengers? Let's see, these are very common questions.

To begin with, we note that the possibility of finding a child alone on an airplane depends on what rules are established by the company. For example, Aeroflot has such a service, while other carriers may refuse. It also depends on age. Sometimes there is no escort for the smallest passengers due to possible problems and high risks. Before planning a trip, you need to find out all necessary information. Note that this service is paid, and therefore, even if the child can fly on the plane himself, specify the cost so that this does not come as a surprise.

Escort is a service offered by companies for the transportation of minors. It includes several actions:

accompanying the child to the plane;
entertainment during the flight

Depending on the type of service chosen, airline employees can accompany the child from the moment of transfer by the parents to delivery to the desired address in the city of arrival. If this is not necessary, then they will simply look after him during the flight. From a certain age, flying unaccompanied is allowed. This also applies to trips abroad, but border checks will require the presence of the necessary documents.

Age restrictions

As we mentioned earlier, the possibility of minors traveling unaccompanied by adults is carried out according to certain rules. In most airlines, children can fly without parents from the age of 5. At the same time, Aeroflot sets certain restrictions for them. Until the age of 8, they cannot use those routes that involve a transfer.

Read also On the possibility of traveling by train unaccompanied by adults to minors

Children after 8 years old can already fly with transfers, however, the carrier's employee must necessarily guide him from one aircraft to another. This is done for a fee. From 12 to 15 years of age, escort is no longer mandatory, but Aeroflot offers such a service for a certain amount.

Teenagers under 17 have the opportunity to fly with virtually no restrictions, and no escort is required. Despite general rules, some airlines may still impose additional restrictions. Before you buy ticket on a flight, ask about the possibility of escort and its cost.

We repeat that the price of a flight for children without parents, when escort is required, will be higher than a standard ticket. Since such a passenger requires increased attention, this must be compensated.

As an example, let's look at some real world restrictions from various companies. Aeroflot allows to independent travel only after 2 years. At KLM, the minimum age is 5 years. However, there are many advantages for underage passengers, as they have a special status, and the staff will devote a lot of time to ensure comfortable flight conditions.

In order to make the trip as easy as possible, various pleasant surprises are provided for the child during the trip: gifts, toys, sweets, etc. Such passengers are marked with special badges that make it clear that this child is traveling alone. Their luggage is also marked with separate stickers.

In some companies, the rules for transporting minors are practically not described in any way. For example, British Airways. Their documentation only states that people under the age of 12 have the right to fly without parents. And therefore, if you need to use the services of this company, then find out all the details and requirements in advance: on what conditions is the support provided, etc.

Required documents

In order for a child to be able to fly on an airplane, he must have certain papers with him. Aeroflot puts forward the following list of required documents that you need to have available:

travel document (passport or birth certificate);
ticket;
visa (if you are flying abroad);
paper with personal information accompanying person;
a paper confirming the absence of claims from parents for the flight;
an application for transportation indicating the details of the accompanied person, as well as the party that will receive the minor upon arrival.

Read also Departure order minor child abroad without parents

As for the last point, it is necessary for accompanying persons to have it. A sample can be found on the Internet, on the website of the carrier or in the company that sells tickets. The paper itself is conditionally divided into two blocks. In the first block, you need to indicate information related to the child and the persons responsible for accompanying him. This includes full name, language, date of birth, contact details, address, and so on. As for the second block of the application, it directly includes the essence, which indicates the consent of the parents to accompany the child with an airline employee.

Landing procedure, flight

So, since a minor will fly without parents, certain rules must be followed to avoid problems with the flight. So, you need to arrive at the airport in advance, at least a few hours. The person transferring the company must have documents for the child and all other papers that we have already mentioned earlier.

When a parent hands over the children to company representatives, he cannot hand him over and leave. A person must be present at the airport until the aircraft takes off. When the paperwork is completed, all papers are folded into a special folder on a string. They hang it on a child. These papers must be available until handed over to the person at the place of arrival.

If children are traveling unaccompanied, they have priority when passing passport control. They must skip the line to check their luggage and documents. They are also the first to board and sit down on the spot. When the child is in their place, their parents or representatives will be called and informed about this. After this point, they can leave the airport and go about their business.

Important! If the child does not need an accompaniment, then he cannot register online or in advance. This can only be done at the airport counter.

As for luggage, there are no special features here. The main baggage is checked into the cargo compartment. However, in hand luggage you need to put a few things that will help the child easily transfer the trip. First of all, you need to make sure that he has something to eat before boarding. This could be cookies, fruit, etc. Be sure to bring water, soda, or another beverage with you.
