Documents and Health
- Each child needs their own passport and, for most destinations, their own visa — including infants
- Carry the birth certificate; some borders ask for it, especially if only one parent is travelling
- Vaccination records and a small letter from your paediatrician for any regular medication
- Travel insurance that explicitly covers the children
The Carry-On for Each Child
One full change of clothes, more nappies or wipes than you think you need, a favourite comfort item, snacks that are not messy, a refillable water bottle (empty through security), and one new small toy or activity kept hidden for the moment things fall apart on the plane.
Medical Kit
Children's paracetamol and ibuprofen in correct doses, oral rehydration sachets, plasters, antiseptic, any prescribed medicine in original packaging, sunscreen, and insect repellent suitable for their age. Keep it in the cabin bag.
On the Plane
For take-off and landing, give a baby a feed or a bottle and an older child something to chew or drink to ease ear pressure. Book seats together in advance. A window seat helps a nervous child; an aisle seat helps if you will be up and down with a toddler.
At the Destination
Confirm the hotel can provide a cot before you arrive. Ask us to arrange a private transfer with a child seat rather than flagging a taxi. Pace the days and keep afternoons light — an overtired child ends everyone's day early.
Let Us Handle the Logistics
We book family rooms, arrange private airport transfers, and build itineraries around nap times and short activity blocks. Tell us how old your children are and we will plan around them.
