Oh absolutely, Melinda. I get a bit panicky on domestic flights when I realise there’s no alcohol on offer!
Apologies for not including any tips for airborne childcare. It’s not our area of expertise… and probably a good thing considering my earlier admission! There are plenty of tips from my friends who do have kids though.

Cool! Lucky you, Talia. We’ve not been to either of those places. Would love to go though. My sister was in a kibbutz a long time ago and really enjoyed exploring Israel that way. Are you flying with Korean Air? I’ve heard they do really good stopovers in Seoul and put you up in really nice hotels as part of the ticket price. Bet you can’t wait to get going – though the flights might be a bit of a challenge like you say. At least you’ll have a nanny (in both senses of the word!) with you all the time you’re away though!

We’re off to Israel for 2 months, and will spend a few nights in Seoul on the way. We’ve been to both places before, but still looking forward to it!
We’ll be travelling with Luke’s Nonna, and our (at the time) 3 and 1 year olds, so it should make the flights quite interesting trying to keep everyone happy!!

When I first discovered this, Talia, it was quite some time after I’d started travelling. It was pretty life-changing. Those headrests lift up too. Makes a difference.
Hope it helps in April. Where are you heading?

And thanks for linking up with Wanderlust! Our next link up will be on the 3rd December, so mark it in your diary!!

Hi Julie! Glad the seat trick worked on the way there. Shame about the way back – sounds like a bit of a nightmare. My friend once had a seat next to a very large traveller – let’s just say there was ‘overflow’ onto his seat. In the end he got up and discretely asked if there were any other seats available. He felt really bad about it when he went back to get his hand luggage to move, but in the long run everyone benefitted with a bit more space. Anyway hope your flight home wasn’t too bad.

Score on the headphones! Love finding a bargain, especially when it’s cheaper than what you found in North America. Almost unheard of, that! And LOVE the tip on movies! So funny – and so true! Brilliant!

Cheers

We bought an excellent pair of noise cancelling headphones at Melbourne Airport Duty Free (they were cheaper there than anywhere we saw them later in US or Canada).

Don’t watch 2 movies with the same main character – the plots just get wierd.
