Can I take my pram with, including the snug and safe seat? Does it count towards my baggage allowance?
How much baggage allowance does a baby get? The standard 20kg?
Any suggestions for on the plane? What do I do about his ears popping? Feeding (bottle feeding) and changing him on the plane? Can they warm up formula on the plane?
Can I get preferential seating i.t.o. bulkhead seats?
Any suggestions would be helpful!
:babyroll: Thanx :babyroll:
When travelling with a baby one normally gets good seating......I always have.
If I remember correctly I think that the pram etc. does count towards your baggage allowance.
They warm the formula for you on the plane. It's a good idea to have a fresh nappy just before boarding. Changing of nappies is no problem as they have change tables. Disposable nappies are very expensive in SA.
Sleeping is no problem either as there's sky cots.
Pack all your necessities in little polythene bags in an accessible place.
