I'm starting to get stressed by it, there is no way Ava is going to sit still, i was going to get colouring pad, stickers etc, but I know she'll want to run and down all the aisles, any advice from those that have done it before.

wat time do u fly hun? when i went with alfie a few weeks ago he flew at 2pm so i kept him up all day so he was exhausted and slept on the plane - well for a good hour and a half. i took a portable dvd player with an in the night garden dvd which he watched. also took his triangle toy with beads etc on for him to play with. tbh he wasnt great coming back, cried a bit, kept hitting me. plus he was hot and so was i. but u just gotta get on with it! x

its at 6am Amy so she'll be shattered, times ok for coming back, there's no way she'll sleep though, if there's anything going on Ava likes to be involved!

Lily was better than i thought she would be so you may be surprised!!! I got her a trunki which kept her occupied in the airport etc and took it on as hand luggage with books,colouring stuff etc in it.

Ellie has always slept but i did pack lots of crayons and drawing pads. How long is the flight?



We're going to Cyprus next week and its 12.45pm flight and we have to touch down in Turkey (north cyprus rule) so we'll be on the flight for 6 hours!!!!



Give her a bottle during take off and she might just go to sleep. Prepare yourself for the worst few hours imaginable, so if she's good it will be a blessing.



On the last flight we had Ellie was awake for the first hour and kicked the seat in front for a whole hour!!



Take a blanket for her as it gets chilly
