"Why not pack him a special airplane 'pack' full of stickers, treats and a few of his other favourite toys. We kept on talking to my daughter about the flight and bought her a special onesie and made a really big deal out of the adventure we were going on. I was dreading it more than her to be honest because she was fine when we first flew with her at 5 months but at just over 1 she was a nightmare. At 2 1/2 she was actually great and slept most of the flight! The iPad and kiddie headphones were also very handy as we downloaded a few of her favourite programmes which helped to distract her during waits between flights. Good luck!"
