Christmas is, for most families, the most joyful time of the year. Parents of small children, especially, look forward to watching the wonder of Christmas morning in their kids' eyes, when the results of Santa Claus's visit are finally revealed. Parents who get to live these moments with their children, at home, can't wait for the next holiday season to arrive. Parents who have to travel with young children, at Christmastime, by air, might feel completely different about the holiday season.
Air travel today is more difficult than ever, with overcrowded airports, long security lines, and lost luggage. It's bad enough for adults traveling alone, but traveling with infants, toddlers, or any young children can be one of the most challenging feats any parent will ever face. While airline travel will never be easy for parents who can't afford their own jet, it can be made less terrible if parents follow a few guidelines: Send Christmas gifts and other necessary items ahead, as much as possible. With the strict limits being applied to carry-on items and check-in luggage, trying to keep track of gifts for Grandma and Grandpa is one hassle parents don't need. It's an extra expense, but less than you'd pay in time and money to replace gifts, if they're lost by the airline. The main way to avoid as many airports as possible is to book non-stop flights, whenever they're available. More travelers than ever before are missing connections these days, a problem that's worse during the high-travel days of the holiday season. Missing a connection, then being stuck in an airport in a strange town, with young kids, while waiting for another flight, could ruin any parent's holiday. Parents may want to spend the extra money to reserve seats for young children, and bring their carseats to use on the plane. Both parent and child will have a much more comfortable flight, and the safety of the whole family is better ensured, if everyone has a seat. Parents need to make sure they have plenty of healthy snack food and water, for young children. Little ones who are hungry and thirsty don't travel. Also, having plenty of entertainment, in the form of games or books or small toys is a good way to keep kids distracted form the more boring aspects of airline travel or airport lines. No one has a good time traveling on commercial airlines, anymore. Traveling during the holiday season is especially challenging for everyone. Parents of young children have perhaps the hardest job of anyone at Christmastime-keeping Christmas spirit alive for children who don't understand why everything adults come up with has to be so hard.
