I need Input on traveling by Air India with 2 year old daughter.?

Question

Hi, I am traveling through Air India with my 2 year old daughter from Chicago to Mumbai. This is my first time traveling with her and I am little nervous as I heard some bad things about Air India. I want to know if you have traveled Air India with a toddler and what was your experience like? For example was flight crew helpful? Do they provide warmed milk for toddlers? I know their entertainment system is poor, so can I take portable DVD player for my daughter to watch her favorite shows? I search through their website but I could not find any answer. I also tried to call them on their four different numbers but all of them are always engaged. My journey is very close, so please reply
Thank you.

Answer 1

you should be fine with the portable dvd player. we travel from japan to the states several times a year and we always bring it for him and it works well for us. other tips- bring her favorite toys and some surprises. i always hit the dollar store (or the 100 yen shop!)　before a flight. we also bring medicine just in case. ibuprofin or tylenol can help with ear pain if she is no longer nursing (nursing helps ears during take off and landing). and you may also want to consider benedryl which can be given to help her sleep. (check with your doctor for the dose). as for the flight staff. they may be too busy to give you special attention but that doesnt mean you wont have help. when i travel alone with the kids people always offer to help- the grandmother type who let my son sleep with his feet on her lap-- the helpful dad on a business trip who will help you carry your stuff when you board. ask people for help--- they want to help but may be shy to offer. also bring lots of snacks and dont be shy about asking for whatever you need during the trip so you daughter wont get dehydrated. also bring plenty of extra clothes for her and an extra shirt for you... i remember the time my son vomited right before landing. what a mess! good luck and have a safe trip!!!

Answer 2

Any long flights with little kids can be a headache. Im not sure if you can bring a DVD player,but do bring items that will keep her busy like crayons and paper. On most of our flight she drew and slept. If you asked to get your milk warm they will be happy to assist you. I felt like they gave special treatment to me because I had a young child with me so don't be too nervous because you guys will be fine.

You re accurate, water and milk gained't in nice condition the toddlers, except this is been perfect boiled in a sparkling vessel...Boiled water and milk must be okay. Boil the water for atleast 15-20 minutes, enable the milk also boil for sometime. do not use utensils/milk bottles except they're washed with boiled water (0 bacteria gadget is likewise good, ask interior the market, yet boil that water a minimum of once too). relies upon the position you'll stay in Banglore - a motel or at someone's' residing house (latter can make issues less demanding). you should use Nestle formula (toddler milk powder) obtainable in India. I used it when I ran out of the formala I had carried from foreign places and my one 365 days previous twins took straight away to it, did not fall ill both. in case you opt for to bigger careful, more advantageous suited now to not grant raw culmination and vegetables, in elementary words cooked or tinned(imported from foreign places). in case you opt for to grant sparkling, provides washed and peeled perfect. don't have ice-cream, yoghurt, or any dairy products from outdoors. more advantageous suited to be secure than sorry. My twins fell ill for 3 days in the route of the properly, and it replaced into terrible, spolied the relaxing at my brotherr's wedding ceremony... Take panadol, dimetapp or demazin ( for chilly), canestan tube and egocort for nappy rash. I used Boroplus (obtainable in India) for cuts and injuries, works fantastically.. I took nappies with me, pampers and different manufacturers are available over there too. Take some your daughter's standard toys/books to save her busy and satisfied. i ought to experience free to assist once you've the different questions....
