Traveling to India (from US) with a preschooler

I see that there are lot of tips for traveling with infants. I need tips on traveling with preschools (4-5 yr olds). Just share your experience on dos and don't.

hi ilavenil


I had travelled with my 2 tiny tots quite often, so based on my expereince here are few tips.

1. Carry basic medicine for vomiting, cold, coughs, diarrohea etc.... in check in bag, also in small quty in hand luggage with docs prescription.
2. Some cotton to put in ear on flight, while take off and landing.
3.Dont ever travel with a transit break of 2hr or less. Go for min 5 hrs, or more.

4.Carry extra pair of clothes in handbag.
5. Some favourite toy to keep them occupied in flight.
6. some coloring book if possible.
7. Photo copy of vaccination card, just have it handy, in case.
8. Any medical records, if it is important.
9. Some biscuits, snacks, fruits, since if there is flight delay, and you dont have local currency, you can manage with that.

hope this is helpful
