We are traveling to Hawaii in Feb with a 2 1/2 and a 4 month old. My question is what is easier on the children and parents, a flight with a few stops or a straight through flight. I dont think coming home will be a problem because it is a night flight but I am worried about going out there. We are traveling from Florida so straight through is at least 12 hrs. Any past experiences or help, my toddler is not very good for long distance so that is who I am thinking of the most.

My first instinct was non-stop, but from Florida, wow... I'd say schedule a stop or two. I know I couldn't drive from my house to Vegas (about 6 hours) with my nieces w/o stopping to stretch. The good thing about layovers is you can exercise the toddler, and feed him/her some "fast food" which they may like better than airline food. Maybe fly to LA witha layover and then on to Hawaii. (It's about 6 hours from LAX to HNL). I'm taking a14 year old cheerleader and 9 year old cheerleader in Feb and I'm thinking about tranqs!!!

I traveled overseas with a 2 and 4 year olds, and would definitely recommend making at least one stop. It would be really hard for your toddler to not be able to move around for 12 hours. Just make sure you allow enough time between your connections so you wouldn't have to rush from plane to plane with two little kids, it would be less stressful.

i went to sanfransisco from australia with my family that consists of a 7yr old and a 2 yr old, we just did the straight 12 hour flight, we just took some snacks and a favourite small toy a couple of bok and some medicine to relax them and make them sleepy so the 2 yr old slept most of the way

I'd say a few stops for sure. At the very least it'll be easier on your fellow passengers. =)
Give them a chance to get up (particularly the older one) Let them stretch. Whatever you do, make sure you bring something to occupy them and keep them entertained!
