Congratulations – you’ve made the bold decision to go flying with your young children.
As a family, we have completed more than 130 flights with our children under the age of 5 years old. Flights have ranged from as short as 45 minutes to as long as 14 1/2 hours. Our journeys have included 5 day treks from East Africa to NZ – buses, airports, planes, trains, hotels and taxis!
Was it tough – at times – totally exhausting!
Was it amazing? Completely!

Our 4 children now have an experience and perspective of the world few could ever have at their age. They have lived in the developing world (East Africa), travelled many times through Dubai, experienced the UK and Europe, been on many trips to Australia, including a number of the provincial centres and stopped in on Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore to name just a few Asian places.
