Planning and preparation to keep kids busy during a flight to a vacation destination will be important. There are a few steps that you can take that will help both you and your children to enjoy the travel time to your destination.

If you are considering taking a portable DVD player, it will be important to contact the airlines to find out their restrictions on these devices. Some airlines do not allow electronic devices on the plane.
Most airlines do not provide snacks or meals during a flight. To avoid the problems that often accompany children who are hungry, it is a good idea to prepare healthy snacks that do not contain processed sugar. Many people pack each child a small lunch box that they can carry with them that contains a sandwich, snacks and juice. It is important that whatever you bring your child to eat, that there will not be a potential spill or mess.
It is important that children remain seated on the plane and do not kick the backs of seats. While most parents become comfortable with the antics of their children, it is important be aware of your children when in a confined space. Many passengers who are also on their way to a vacation destination will not appreciate rowdy children. Therefore, it is important that you maintain control of your children at all times.
All of these tips are designed to allow a person the chance to have a wonderful trip without the distraction that is often associated with travelers who have children. In the end, it is important that all of the passengers on a plane, including children are comfortable and relaxed when they arrive at their destination.
