Traveling by Plane is very common now and when traveling with kids if you do not organize well, it will be a headache. The following Plane travel tips with kids provided by Vietnam Local Tour Operator are to help you to start your trip in Vietnam in the most enjoyable way for families.

1. You can text or email yourself messages with your travel information. Flight numbers, hotel names and reservation numbers, tour guide cell number we provide at the booking confirmation… Just delete the pictures and emails after your trip.
2. In order to get through checkout lines quicker, follow some simple rules. Do not wear belts, DO wear slip on shoes that come on and off quickly.

The more complicated things you wear, you tend to lengthen your security check at the airport.

3. Before going through security, put everything in the carry on bag such as cell phones, large pieces of jewelry, watches, tablet pads, game systems, wallets, and loose change. All of these things in your pockets can take a long time to empty and then you have to collect it all on the other side. It goes much faster when it is all in the carry on bags.
4. Have your children wear bright colors. Makes it easier to keep track of.
5. Go To the restroom as close to boarding as you can manage. This cuts down on “having to go” when boarding the plane.
6. Buy toiletries at the first drug store you find at your destination. This cuts out on luggage messes and is much easier than carrying it around. You can leave it at the end of your trip.
7. Carry small packs of baby wipes or shout wipes in a zip-lock bag for messes made. This is an easy clean up.
8. Bring gum for the take off and the landing of the airplane. Remind kids to “pop” their ears when chewing.
9. Try to book all your seats together. If not, get them as close as possible. Politely asking other travelers to switch with you so you can sit together might be more helpful. You should do Online check in before or when you travel with our services we always do the Web check for you before you enter the airport.

10. Always purchase travel insurance if at all possible. Especially so if you are traveling in Vietnam within the Storm season. You never know what will come up and it is better safe than sorry if you have anything that necessitates you staying in a hotel because of cancelled Halong Bay Cruises due to storm.

11. The best advice of times to travel with children, is to fly in the earliest part of the day you can possibly can. These are the least likely times for flight delays to happen. Especially in Vietnam, if you go with mid-day flights, it can easily be a problem with delay from local “Sorry Airlines”. Getting up early also make your kids more organized.

From a Vietnam Local Tour Operator point of view, we do hope that these tips can make travel with children less of a headache. And much more enjoyable start to your vacation in Vietnam.
