One of the more complicated aspects of air travel, is flying with an infant. With limited space on board, air pressure changes that hurt the little one's ears, endless announcements in the terminal, and bright lights all around, the air travel experience can be difficult on both the very young passenger and the parent.
Airlines may be baby-friendly enough, but that isn't always the experience with fellow passengers. It can be a very stressful time for a new parent traveling with the under 2 set. Flying with the youngest passengers does require extra time and planning. I've written the following series of articles to help make air travel with an infant a little less stress-filled -
