What to Do During Airport Delays

It's best when traveling with kids to over-pack snacks - those foods that are familiar to little tummies - and under-pack toys. Clothing is another item to consider putting in your carry-on luggage. Pack individual outfits in large zip-lock bags that can be used for trash, diaper disposal and soiled clothes later in the trip if necessary. At least one extra change of clothes on hand will help greatly if luggage is lost or a delay becomes longer than you anticipated. Pack at least one diaper per anticipated hour of travel. Consider clothing that makes it easy for your kids to pass through security without a hitch. This includes avoiding metal belts and hardware, shoes that tie and even metallic sequins and other decorations that girls tend to wear. If you find that you'll be delayed overnight, then discuss hotel arrangements with the airline. Figure out whether you'll be compensated for any equipment like carseats you'll need in transporting a child to a hotel, then for cribs and the like at the hotel when you arrive. Expect the unexpected when you travel with your kids, and you'll be prepared to roll with the punches.
