| I would be the same as im get really bad anxiety when i travel, i always dream about flying and saying goodbye to people and that im rushing to pack and forget something! Just think i you forget something you can always buy it when ur there. As for having Theo hopefully we will sleep lots of the way! Buy some new toys to keep him occupied too. Ive flown when my lo was 4months and 9months and it was fine but only a 5 hour flight. We just drove up north and back over xmas and that was a 9hour drive! |

| My husband and I flew with our son last January (he was eight months then) to New Zealand. From leaving our place in the UK to arriving to my parents it was nearly 40 hours.
How heavy/big is your son? I only ask this because our son was 24lbs (nearly 11kgs), so just within the weight restrictions for the bassinet and he was well within the height restriction for our airline (Emirates) but all I can say is that they should make the weight and height restrictions a lot lower because our son didn't sleep 5 minutes in the bassinet. Didn't help us that he only sleeps on his tummy which meant he needed more space when sleeping.
If you're son will sleep in the bassinet, then you guys will be fine. I think generally families who fly long distance find that the trip is never as bad as what they were expecting (we were an exception).
All the best and once you get to Oz you will have such an awesome time that whatever the plane experience was like, that will fade in the background very quickly.
