| This thread seems to have died down lately? How are parents traveling with their kids? I don't really know what is supposed to be posted in this thread... We have gone to my native country 3 times with both kids, which is over 8,000 km away and like a 15-20-hour plane ride (usually 2 planes). It's ... |

| We haven't attempted any big trips with our son. A year or so ago I wouldn't even consider getting on a plane with my son, he's come a long way though so it's not as terrifying a thought now.
