Somehow one episode about flying with kids turned into three - because once you start travelling regularly with children, you quickly realise there’s a lot more to talk about than snacks and sleep.

In the final part of our Flying With Kids series, Carly and Renee talk about keeping kids entertained on long flights, our very realistic approach to screen time while travelling, the toys and activities that have actually worked for us, and why a baby carrier can be one of the most useful things you pack.

We also cover power banks and charging devices, what landing day can look like after a long-haul flight, adjusting expectations when everyone is exhausted and some of the cultural differences we’ve noticed while travelling with children around the world.

This isn’t about creating the perfect activity bag or keeping kids quietly entertained for an entire flight. Sometimes the screen comes out, sometimes nothing you packed works, and sometimes getting everyone to the other side is enough.

In this episode:

• Toys and activities for flights
• Screen time on travel days
• Simple screen-free entertainment
• Power banks and keeping devices charged
• Why we love travelling with a baby carrier
• Managing the first day after a long-haul flight
• Adjusting expectations when you land
• Cultural differences when travelling with kids

This is Part 3 and the final episode of our Flying With Kids series. Parts 1 and 2 cover sleep, snacks, car seats, ear pain, boarding and more of the practical realities of family flying.
