First of all, air tickets
Children over 2 years old 12 years old must buy children's tickets. Babies born more than 14 days but under two years old must buy baby tickets, not only exclusive seats; Each adult passenger can take up to two babies. Infants under 2 years old buy baby tickets at the full fare of economy class 10%, and the airport construction fee is exempted.
Babies must bring the original birth certificate or household registration book to the ticket office directly under the airline to purchase tickets. Baby ticket passengers do not enjoy their seats alone. And the number of baby passengers per flight is limited, depending on the model. Children who have reached the age of 2 but have not reached the age of 12 will be paid 50% of the full fare of economy class on the same flight, and the airport construction fee will be exempted.
Second, carry things.
When you take your baby by plane, you should take enough diapers, clothes and milk powder with you for waiting. On the plane, when the baby is hungry and thirsty, parents can press the call bell overhead, and the flight attendant on standby will come to your side immediately to serve.
Generally, infants and young children will travel with children's carts. Parents can choose a portable children's folding cart to take on the plane. Some trolleys are not suitable for taking on the plane, and you can also choose to check them. In addition, when flying, some children's small toys can't be brought on the plane. Such as simulated toy guns, remote control toys, etc.
The airline has children's meals specially prepared for children flying. Children's meals are generally made of fish intestines and fruit puree that are popular with children. Children's meals don't get on the plane like adult meals. Parents need to apply to the airline when booking tickets, and need to reconfirm with the ground crew when checking in. In this way, children can eat "children's meals" and "baby meals" carefully prepared by airlines.
Third, don't let the baby sleep when the plane takes off and lands?
During the take-off and landing of aircraft, the cabin pressure changes, and children's eardrums are thinner, so their sensitivity to air pressure changes will be more obvious. When taking off and landing, try not to let children sleep, because the possibility of air pressure damaging the eardrum during sleep will greatly increase. At the same time, ear swelling will make the baby feel pain and discomfort.
Parents, please don't worry too much. Taking some protective measures for children in time will greatly alleviate their discomfort. For example, you can let the baby suck the nipple or drink the water from the bottle, and balance the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum in the ear by sucking. Older children can drink some water or eat snacks to relieve the pressure on their ears.
Extended data
1. How old can a baby fly?
Airlines stipulate that healthy babies born 14 days or more can fly.
1, newborn within 7 days of birth. Because the newborn's lungs have not been fully opened, the capillaries are fragile, and the body's tolerance to changes in air pressure, gravity and other factors is weak, so it is not appropriate to take the opportunity.
It is best to wait until the baby is 4-6 weeks before taking him to fly. The main reason is that the air reused on the plane is not good for the baby.
In the first month, the baby's resistance to the environment is still very fragile and easily infected by germs. If he is allowed to breathe the recycled air with a large group of strangers in a closed environment, he will inevitably be infected by some wandering germs.
Second, what should I do if my baby gets airsick?
Prevention: it is not complicated to prevent your baby from getting airsick. Make sure your baby is healthy and gets enough sleep the night before the flight.
If possible, give your baby a seat away from the engine and close to the window to reduce noise and broaden your horizons. During the flight, try to do something to attract your baby's attention, such as letting your baby talk, reading stories to your baby, listening to music, etc.
Drinking proper amount of warm water with vinegar before flying can also prevent airsickness.
Treatment: When the baby is slightly airsick, you can continue to do something to attract the baby's attention, or guide the baby to look out of the window.
Put a cool wet towel on the baby's forehead, and experienced mothers can also try to pinch the baby's Neiguan point with their thumbs (Neiguan point is on the palm of the wrist joint, between the two horizontal fingers and the two tendons on the wrist transverse stripes), which can alleviate the baby's airsickness symptoms.
If the reaction is too serious, call the crew medical staff immediately. ?
Third, the baby's safe flight strategy
Introduction:1:Do not wear seat belts for infants under 3 years old.
Because once the plane bumps, the child may be injured in the seat, or he may slip out from under the seat belt and fall. For them, the safest place is the arms of their parents.
Raiders 2: Don't let children hold their heads in the aisle.
Because of the narrow aisle in the aircraft cabin, the child's head is easily hit by other passengers when passing by.
Raiders 3: Don't let children crawl or walk around in the cabin to avoid being injured when the plane bumps.
Don't let the children fall asleep during the take-off and landing phase of the plane, because the air pressure changes greatly at this time, resulting in ear pressing. Let the children eat something at this time, which will help balance the pressure of the eardrum and the inside and outside air and avoid hurting the young eardrum.
Raiders 4: When taking the baby on the plane, try to apply for a seat near the front of the cabin.
Because the air circulation in the front cabin of the plane is slightly better than that in the back cabin, it is more convenient to get on and off the plane, so parents should inform the staff when they check in at the airport for arrangement.
Raiders 5: Parents should arrive at the airport in advance and leave enough time.
When waiting at the airport, you should take good care of your baby to prevent many people from getting lost. Baggage can be checked as much as possible, but what the baby uses on the road needs to be carried with him. Remember to change the baby's diaper before boarding the plane. When the plane takes off or lands, let the baby suck the nipple or drink the water from the bottle, which can make his ears more comfortable.
Raiders 6: When taking the baby by plane, it is best to book the seats in the first row of each section, and try not to accept the seats in the middle of the long row.
Because it is inconvenient for you or nearby passengers, the baby should pay attention to feeding when taking off and landing, let him swallow, or make him laugh or open his mouth without feeding. This can prevent noise from hurting ears. Don't cook milk at home and get on the plane. Sometimes you can't pass the security check. Get some milk powder and do it after security check.
