This weeks tip is for families traveling with small children. Everyone knows, and probably takes advantage of the airlines pre-board option when traveling with little ones. My tip is a bit of a twist on this idea.

I love that families can settle in ahead of the crowd, it’s a great idea for all involved. The pack mule (usually, dad;-) has a chance to lug all the “stuff” on the plane and strap in the car seat without frustrating, less encumbered travelers boarding behind them.

My tip is this: If you have two adults involved, let one adult board the airplane with everything and leave one adult out in the boarding area with the kids. Boarding usually commences forty minutes prior to door closer. Why not let the little travelers get that last bit of energy out? This way it’s easy for adult #1 to get settled into your row of seats and it’s a breeze for adult #2 to stroll on with the kids when they make that last boarding announcement.
