Save this before your next night flight-you'll thank yourself at 35,000 ft. Last month we travelled to Phuket and our flight was scheduled at 4:40am and we reached the airport at 12am to have sufficient buffer time incase of long queues etc. Let us have a look at how we spent the evening. 6:00pm:- came back home from school 7:00pm:- Dinner 7:30pm:- bedtime routine ( books, music and prayer) Till 8pm:- He was fast alseep 11:30pm:- I woke him and changed to airport clothes 12:00am:- Reached airport and all excited because he rested well. Till 4:30am:- Finished with checkin formalities, went to airport lounge, ate food, checked few shops and boarded the flight. 5:00am:- Slept again as soon as the plane took off. 10:00am:- Woke up fresh and saw the landing. Moral of the story:- Always split the sleeping time pre and during the flight. Like if you calculate, overall his 8-9 hours of sleep was maintained. Also, what works wonders everytime in our case is we talk and plan a lot beforehand everytime we have to travel during odd hours and prepare him mentally. Like, he knew if he will sleep for few hours at home before the flight, he can enjoy the airport time and still feel fresh. The more we involve them in details related to them, the more they understand and cooperate. Mind you, I took zero toys, activities or anything. Both the times we took late night flight and it went exactly like we had planned. Share it with anybody who you know will be travelling with kids soon. Have a safe and smooth journey. #redeyeflight #saveandshare #travelwithkids #parentinghacks #travelsmart
