Well finally all the flights are sorted for our trip to see OHs family in South Africa. The main flights have been booked for ages but we booked the internal flights last night.
I'm not looking forward to it, we will be travelling for over 24 hours, look:
1st Jan 09, Birmingham to Dubai, stop for 4 hours in Dubai, then Dubai to Johannesburg, 3 hours in J'burg, then J'burg to George, where MIL and FIL have a beach house.
We leave Birmingham at 1pm and arrive in George at 3pm the next day!
Luckily we are there for 3 weeks till we make the return journey.
I'm dreading Riley on the plane we are flying Emirates and I have heard they are great with kids but we have to ask for a bassinet thing on check-in, I'm worried we won't get one and he'll be on our laps the whole way
Anyone else have any tips on flying with lots of kids? I've done it before with Mason and Brody when Brody was 1 and it was OK, they just watched TV, played the games and slept. Brody is now a right fidget and I dunno if he'll sit still.
The flights are overnight, but the 4 hour stop in Dubai is midnight till 4am!! Nightmare!
