We have had another crazy month over here - I have just gotten back from a quick trip to San Francisco with my eldest son. We had a brilliant time and I will be doing a write up on visiting San Fran with kids in an upcoming newsletter. If you haven't been, I would highly recommend it as its a great child friendly destination.

ickle Travel Tips ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Following on from our plane series, here are some tips on things to think about when booking and requesting airline seats prior to your holiday.
Booking Flights
Depending on how far in advance you book your tickets, it’s a great idea to try and request your seats as well. Airlines vary as to when you can start doing this. Parents of babies under 12 months old are generally given priority when reserving bulk head seats (the front row of each section). Small cots (often called bassinets) can then be attached to the aircraft walls in front of these seats, allowing you some valuable down time when your little one sleeps. As the specification of each aircraft can vary, you should always check the maximum weight the bassinet can carry before travelling.
If you have a child over 12 months old, the bulk head seats (if you can get them) are great seats to request, as they have more space for your children to play on the floor with their toys. On a recent flight, our youngest son decided he would much prefer to sleep on the floor with some blankets for a few hours than in his chair. It worked well as there was no turbulence, so he did not need to be buckled in.
Configuration of seats also needs to be taken into consideration when you are requesting seats, more so for a long haul flight. Personally, I prefer at least one member of the family sitting in the aisle seat – that way, we can go to the toilet or stretch our legs whenever we need to. Generally speaking, the seat configurations of most aeroplanes flying long haul are 3-4-3 (window seats – middle section – window seats).
Booking Meals
Do not forget to order children and baby meals for your ickle ones. Depending on which airlines you fly with, they tend to have jar food available for babies who are being weaned. Also the good thing is, most airlines will serve childrens’ meals before the adults on international flights. That way, you can sort the kids out without having to deal with your meal trays as well. A little tip, when its meal times, its hard to get out of your seats … so go to the toilets when you see the trolleys coming, otherwise you may be stuck in your seats for awhile!
