Kids first airplane trip - What if they're scared to to fly back???  email this discussion to a friend?

helpingmomsathome (80)   ranked 1,088 out of 9,011 in parenting 4 years ago

My family is hoping to visit DisneyWorld in Florida in the next year or two. We plan to take a plane (train-too expensive and too long and car is too expensive-gas). My kids are 8, 6 and 3. My concern is what if they get on the plane and flip out? My husband and I aren't the most comfortable fliers either. Do I give them dramamine before we leave (when they might not need it) or wait until we're in flight?Anyone been in this situation? I'd love some advice. Thanks!

If they've never flown before, then chances are you might need to give them something a bit stronger than Drammamine. Something that might make them sleep would work

We flew when our oldest son was little. He got antsy and we gave him some Benadryl to help him sleep the rest of the flight as not to hack off any of the other passengers. Nothing worse than being in a 60 foot by 5 foot tin can with a yelling baby for 4 hours.
