Q: I'm flying with my young children for the first time. Have you got any tips?
A: good starting point is to check how much extra luggage your airline will allow for young children. This tends to be a pushchair as part of your free baggage allowance. Also check in advance whether sky cots are provided for babies and reserve if they are available.
When packing, share your family's possessions throughout the bags, just in case one goes missing. Anticipate delays and pack extra nappies, spare clothes, snacks and toys or books to occupy your children.
At the airport:
