Guest sean,marie & gang Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We did a 24 hr flight to Sydney with four kids. It was fine. The kids were knackered or entertained!!!! My youngest one at the time was 11mths old and it just wasnt a problem. The only thing that I could think about the whole time was getting there, so we went on a non stopover flight and I think that is the best thing that I could recommend. We stopped for an hour in Singapore then straight onto oz. All I can say, it didnt seem that long, the kids played on psp and ds and inflight entertainment. The hardest part was getting milk from the stewards for the little one.As she didnt have her own seat they expected her not to eat or drink for 24hrs!!!! So my dinners were halved!!

Guest graham$nic Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi all we done the flight last october to Sydney with my two daughters age 10 and 2 and my son 12. My eldest daughter was so worried even though we had done the same flight a few years previous!!!!!!! but once she was on the plane she was fine to be honest they slept most of the time and as lynda says they watch movies play games eat etc the time does go fast.Even my 2 year old was an angel didnt know i had her. As i told my kids the getting on the plane is a big adventure!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cellefrouin Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey.. I absolutly love flying .. but on a long flight id bring lots of stuff do do (dvd , nintendo , etc.. ) There's nothing to be scared about.. im not quite sure they'd want you fast asleep so you can't wake up, for safety reasons, but flying is the safest transport you know .. If you are scared, id take some sweets to suck on when your taking off and landing.. if you'd like to speak on msn ..jus pm me =] .. Speak later, Nathalie (celle's daughter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
