If your child(ren) has difficulty flying, do everything you can to relax the child so you do not disturb other passengers nearby. Bring plenty of books, games, snacks and other things to keep your child quietly occupied. You can also try walking to the galley area of the plane to stretch your child’s legs. Change diapers in the restroom on the plane. In most restrooms there are changing tables and trash bins for diaper disposal. When breastfeeding, use a drape, both for your own privacy and for the comfort of other passengers.

Make use of your own arm rest and headphone plug outlet. Don’t use someone else’s because it’s more convenient for you.

If you’re stuck in an aisle seat but still want to enjoy the view, don’t lean over the person next to you to look out the window.
