We flew to Switzerland with an 8 month old. The flight was HELL! Non-stop screaming (on an over-night), but the water in the bathroom distracted him occassionally. Bob The Builder would have helped. Or Elmo, or something animated like that.
But that was the ONLY bad trip we've ever had. The other son also flew at 8 months. They have since flown to Europe 4 times, Florida 2 times, Dominican Republic 2 times, California 3 times. They're 4 and 6 years old now. We bring lots of books, mellow toys, munchies.
We tried to break them in early and set expectations that travel is a way of life. The world is begging us to discover it. San Francisco is coming next month, then two weeks later to Colorado to ski. We're working on Hawaii for this summer. Take the kid!

Laura flew from Hong Kong to Seattle one month after her second birthday. She has been back three times. We are going again next week. That is one long flight, and has never been a problem.
I agree with the previous suggestions. Bring things to do. That is key. And they must be varied if it is a long flight. Also snacks. Laura usually makes it through the whole flight fine but crashes (well, not literally - falls asleep, you know) during the last hour or two, and wakes up grumpy. The hardest part is getting her off of the plane.
BTW, the portable DVD player is great for getting her through band practice, also, especially in combination with headphones. She though the LCD glasses were a bit much, though.

Thanks all for the experiences - thats encouraging. Young Harri has already flown about a dozen times - but only short trips to Sydney or Cairns (1 hr and 2.5hrs). Though 2 weeks ago our plane sucked in a fruit bat and was grounded at Carins - so our 2.5 hour flight also included a 6 hour wait at the airport.
And I hired an onboard DVD player last week coming home from Cairns - and yes, it did work a treat.
And Roy:
"We tried to break them in early and set expectations that travel is a way of life", sounds like an excellent strategy

I am attending a wedding that day too (being a best man I can't really opt out) and was hoping to accompany Mr $ across the pond.GlennCase wrote:I hope this does not end up being on August 12th. Rachael and I have a wedding that we have to DJ that day.

This BUMP is not intended to seem pushy... the <a href="http://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.p ... 926">newly shared Austin footage</a> has just woken up my desire to go to the next one. I am still hoping it is not on August 12th.
With this in mind: Do you have any updates, Señor Shite? I would like to buy my tickets early to ensure that we are there this time.
ROCK!
