As I recently announced, I’m expecting baby #2 this fall. I have one final cross-country trip planned when I’m 29 & 30 weeks pregnant (updates to follow in a post later this summer). When I was expecting Little V, I had to travel cross-country at 34 weeks because my little sister was getting married. Barring […]
Pre-Boarding Kids: Which Airlines Still Offer It?
Several of my friends have recently attempted their first trips traveling with babies and small children, and the refrain that I most often hear after these trips is the following: “Did you know that Airline X doesn’t pre-board children any more?” Unfortunately, I did know that! But it appears that the message is not filtering […]
The New Meaning of Trips with Tyke*S*!
I’ve called this blog Trips with Tykes in the hopes that it would be helpful to all parents traveling with small children. But the reality is that I’ve never actually taken a trip with tykes (plural) as I only have one child. I’m happy to announce, however, that this is soon about to change! Baby […]
A Kidcentric Review of JetBlue and JFK’s Terminal 5
My husband and I traveled cross-country to the New York area this past weekend for a friend’s wedding, leaving Little V behind in the capable hands of grandma for once. We booked our return flight on JetBlue from JFK to OAK, a route and a carrier we had not traveled in quite a while but […]
Tracking Your Tyke’s Travels: The Four Year Update
Once of the first posts I made on this blog when it launched in the summer of 2012 was about how you should track your tyke’s travels so that your child has a record of their jetsetting childhood one day. I traveled so much with my parents when I was young, but there is no […]
Trip Report: First Trip Without Mommy
My daughter took her first flight this weekend without Mommy, and I’m happy to report it was a resounding success. It was an easy day-long jaunt from the Bay Area to LA on Southwest, with the morning flight leaving at 9:30 am from OAK, returning a little after 8:00 pm the same evening. She didn’t […]
Getting Seating with Your Kids on Alaska Airlines
My husband, daughter, and I recently returned from a long weekend jaunt to Hawaii, choosing to fly on Alaska Airlines. We booked the tickets fairly last minute (for Hawaii at least — 3 weeks out). When we booked, we were unable to secure three seats together on our return flight because it was already fairly […]
Letting Your Tyke Travel Without You
My daughter just turned four, and we decided she is ready for her first trip without Mommy. No, I’m not sending her as an unaccompanied minor yet (I’m not crazy), but I am letting her take a day trip from OAK to ONT (near Los Angeles) with grandma and grandpa this weekend. Her uncle is […]
Alaska Airlines: OAK to HNL Flight Review
My family and I recently flew from Oakland to Honolulu and back for a weekend Hawaiian jaunt, and had very enjoyable in-flight economy class experiences even with a three year old in tow. If you are going to be flying with small children, Alaska is one of the top airlines on my list of recommendations […]
Anatomy of a Preschooler’s Carryon Bag
I published an ultimate toddler packing list back in the early days of this blog, but I realize that the list doesn’t totally reflect the little logistics of preparing a useful and creatively engaging carryon for your little ones. When my list says “snacks,” that doesn’t really tell you what I actually pack, does it? […]
