Top tips for travelling with young children
These days happy children on holiday means a happy family. As a family we treasure our family holidays its such a precious time and my children have such amazing memories of our holidays. They love to talk about the experiences we have shared on holiday and all the fun adventures we have had. This genuinely gives me so much happiness to know their recollection is as happy as mine. When travelling with children I want hassle free, easy travel.
Before booking your holiday, think about what's important to you as a family. What are your 3 key things you would like from your holiday.... for some it might me a beachfront hotel or a hotel with a waterpark on site. Some families seek adventure or want to be immersed in the local culture. what ever it is I will help you find and plan your dream family holiday.
Here are my top tips for travelling abroad with a family...
1) Where possible fly from your local airport to reduce your travelling time
2) Pre book your flight seats so you can choose to sit together and where you sit
3) If you are travelling long-haul with a baby, book a seat with a bassinet
4) Take your iPad or electronic devices in your hand luggage for the flight
5) Pack your children's favourite snacks
6) Book a private transfer for your arrival and departure to avoid waiting for shared coach transfers, this also allows you to arrive at your hotel before a que of people for your check in
7) Look at room upgrade options to give your family more space.... an apartment, interconnecting rooms, suites or 2 bedroom apartments when staying in a hotel. This gives adults and children more space and higher quality room facilities. Swim up rooms can also be a great option for a family holiday
8) Don't pack unnecessary items at some hotels we can pre book baby and infant packs to include things like baby baths, high chairs, bottle warmers, strollers and sterilisers
9) Make memories. Pre book an excursion, something you normally wouldn't do at home. A real hit with my children is a water park! This can be arranged before you travel saving time and money whilst you are on holiday
10) Temperature at your holiday destination. Check the average temperature of your destination. Its worth bearing in mind young babies and children can be affected by the heat and their ability to cool down is less than that of an adult
Make this years holiday the best yet, I will take all the hassle and stress out of planning your next family holiday and take care of all the small details which make a big difference
