Ideally, you want to board the plane with a dry diapered child, so be sure to visit the airport bathroom – which will be much roomier and better equipped – before heading to your gate. 

Bring twice as much formula, nappies, bottles, baby food and snacks on the plane than you think you’ll need.

If your plane becomes severely delayed or cancelled, you’ll be grateful. 

You may be tempted to doll up your baby in a cute outfit, but think comfort and convenience first.

Choose clothes that are cosy and easy to change. 

Managing luggage, coffee, gate details, tickets and food is complicated enough when travelling, so try and wear your baby through the airport for as long as you can.
