You should get a bassinet they give them to the youngest babies I managed when Erykah was 13 months. They carry a few I think there are at least 2 bulk heads in economy that allows about 12 not sure how many they carry though.

You will be suprised at the room. The change table is in the toilets and put it this way my DD was 3 when we flew back here with Qantas and was still in nappies. I managed to change her no problems. You will be warm enough with a bonds wondersuit on. I used to change Erykah into her PJ's when it was bedtime. Not sure of your flight time but that was on the long flights. You get blankets give anyway so you can use them if you need to.

You are fine with meds (DD has febrile convulsions so I always take it onboard) however you are not allowed liquids of more than 100mls. Dont panic if you have baby milk in bottles you need to taste it in front of the customs staff to show it is safe to drink.

Put all your liquids into sealable plastic bags prior to getting to the airport (food sandwich bags are good) that includes lipsticks and makeup.

Trust me being prepared helps as we werent when we flew to Sri Lanka and we were also ill with tonsilitus so feeling pretty crap and then had to spend 30 mins sorting our stuff and a lot got thrown as it was over 100mls. I was so stressed out.

I have learnt my lesson and now go prepared. Anything over 100mls put in the suitcase. It can be an open bottle of panadol.


You will be fine hun. It is not as bad as you think. Just make sure you feed on take off and landing to help balance his ears and you should be fine. If he cries dont be panicking about the other passengers either just concentrate on calming yourself and little man sod them. Erykah was bad a 2yr old when she was tired and screamed for ages and wouldnt sit in her seat and wear her seatbelt. I got told off by the air hostess who I can tell you I was ready to swing for when she said has she never flown before. I think she has done more km's in an aircraft than she had back and forth to spain from the UK!!!

Hope the girls in Vic are still safe. Idiots are still lighting fires.
