Travel Tips With Toddlers on Plane.

Walaupun flight travel Penang ke KL yang mengambil masa 45 hingga ke satu jam perjalanan, tapi untuk travel dengan 2 orang budak tanpa bantuan sesiapa, bukan lah mudah. Cewah.  Papa 'tertinggal' di Penang sebab keje tak abis lagi, maka balik lah kami 3 beranak dulu.

Bagi yang kenal saya ni cemana, benda-benda camni kita jadikan cabaran untuk tengok sejauh mana kemampuan diri kita. Walaupun dah biasa berdikari tapi kalau Syirah sorang ok lagi, ni dengan Irfan lagi nak handle.  Alhamdulillah Allah Maha Besar, selalunya dipermudahkan.  Saya amik langkah 'we just go with the flow' bebeh.


Cuma masa dari arrival hall nak ke gate tu agak jauh.  Dapat gate yang paling hujung sekali.  Kesian gile masa tu dah la pagi subuh, and agak terlambat check-in so terpaksa suruh Syirah jalan laju-laju sebab mama dukung Irfan. Sampaikan dia kata "Mama, iyah dah sakit kat dada ni".  Sian Syirah. Alhamdulillah Mama dapat anak yang senang handle macam Syirah ni. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.

Sepanjang dalam flight pun, dua-dua sangat behave. Duduk diam je.  Suruh tido tak nak tido pulak tu. 


Beberapa tips yang boleh dikongsikan:

1.  Rancang masa - keluar awal supaya ada masa untuk pergi toilet dan buat apa-apa yang patut sebelum naik flight.

2.  Kalau boleh masa beli tiket, beli sekali seats yang depan. Senang nak pegi toilet and senang nak mintak tolong flight attendants.

3.  Barang yang penting untuk dicapai letak dalam beg sandang (handphone, wallet, ic, pampers, etc).

4.  Bawak toys/buku/jajan untuk attract anak-anak sepanjang perjalanan kalau dorang boring. 


5.   Take advantage dengan flight attendants yang baik hati, manis senyuman dan rajin tegur anak2 kita.  Kita pun kena la berbudi bahasa dengan mereka. Bukan amik kesempatan, at least kalo nak mintak tolong dorang senang. Kalau naik MAS selalunya ok dia bagi selimut, nak suruh dia amikkan air letak dalam botol susu (biasa buat), memang dorang layan kita yang bawak anak2 ni. Kalau AirAsia.. emmm susah sket lah hahahhaa...

6.  Take off and landing - sediakan susu untuk anak2 minum supaya telinga dorang tak sakit.  Kalau yang bfeed tu senang bagi bfeed. Macam Syirah haritu dia kata "Mama iyah pekak ni". So bagi dia air untuk minum.

7.  Kalau travel dekat, tak payah bawak beg banyak so tak payah check in bag. Just bagpack yg kita bawak naik tu je. Sebab nak tunggu bag kita nanti makan masa gak. Tapi kalau kena check-in bag, bawak bag tarik atau bag yang senang untuk handle.  Macam haritu saya bawak troli dan dudukkan anak2 atas bag.  Sebab kalau tak, cemana nak pegang tangan dorang lagi?


8.  Kesimpulannya, just relax dan berdoa. InsyaAllah dipermudahkan.  Anak-anak pun akan memahami :)

Tips ini saya gunapakai untuk perjalanan dekat je lah within Malaysia.  Kalau luar negara, saya rasa memang tak boleh sorang-sorang.  Tak mampu dan untuk keselamatan, agak berbahaya.

Perjalanan ke Baling

Lamanya tak update blog. Alah, bukan ada orang nak baca pun. Kecuali Papa itu wajib. Heeee
Nak citer sket cuti-cuti balik kampung aritu. Memulakan perjalanan pada petang hari Krismas. Konon nak bertolak pagi, tapi penat la..tak larat nak bangun awal. Baju2 pun tak pack lagi. Kalo sorang takpelah, ni barang Syirah kena buat list takut tertinggal.

Lepas makan, lepas solat Zohor.. Syirah pun dah mandi siap2kan dia, kami pun bertolak.
Anak dara baru lepas mandi

Petang tak panas sgt..pastu sib baik tak ngantuk sebab main dengan Syirah dalam keta. Layankan Papa takut Papa ngantuk. Dah penat main, Syirah pun tido dalam 2 jam jugak.

Syirah dah boring main joget-joget dengan Mama


Masa tu dah lewat petang kul 6pm gitu.. singgah R&R Sg Perak. Dah baru ek situ..cantik. Amik kesempatan mandikan Syirah. Aku suke sgt kalo balik kampung singgah R&R lagi2 kalo yang cantik camni. Perkara pertama yang nak visit kalo singgah R&R ialah baby room! Baby room kat R&R Sg. Perak ni sangat selesa, bersih dan best lah dalam erti kata lain. Senang keje ibu-ibu ni. Mandikan Syirah..siap2 tukar baju tido sebab senang kang dalam keta tido, terus sampai kampung..masuk bilik sambung tido.

Baby washroom bersih dan comfortable

Sampai kampung.. borak2 jap pastu kami tido. Esok citer lain plak....

Air Travel with Infants: Tips?

Tengah prepare flight travel dengan Syirah nanti. Kalo ada Papa takpe la jugak. Ni kami berdua je, aku sorang nak handle Syirah oohh.. So jumpa ni dalam website, hopefully dapat lah sikit ilmu.

If travelling with kids, especially flying, then:

1. Books - Carry reading books (new ones preferably), colouring books and crayons, and if you can afford a portable DVD player...its fantastic! -- kena bawak flash cards Syirah la ni.

2. Bathroom - Make your kids use the toilets before boarding the aircraft as they are spacious and much cleaner compared to the aircraft ones! Carry baby wipes as you will need them a lot in-flight for a quick wipe up. Be sure to put them in a place easily accessible to you throughout the flight. -- of course baby wipes mesti ada. siap2 tukar diaper dia lah before boarding.

3. Seat choice - Only choose bulkhead seats if your baby needs a baby bassinet. If not get any other seats in preference. My reason for this is that at the bulkhead seats the armrest cannot be moved, while in normal seats the armrests can go up. This is far better if your baby wants to lie down on the seat with her head on your lap. -- done masa buat booking aritu.

4. Food - Carry biscuits, water, juice & snacks for your kids. Also carry milk packets (the UHT small packets) yourself. Airline snacks run out in flight and milk is a shortage very often. The cabin crew should not be blamed if this happens - it's not up to them to bring milk. They have to see to over 400 passengers too! -- kena bawak banyak2 BabyBites le jawabnya.

5. Ear pressure - If your baby is on a bottle or breastfeeding, give them the bottle or the breast for take-off & landing. It's the best things for their ears and they will also be relaxed.If your child is big, then carry cotton or ask for earplugs as soon as you board the aircraft. Make use of them for take-off then save them for landing as the crew may not have any fresh ones left by then. This helps the kids tremendously if they don't know how to pop their ears. -- pepandai la tutup tinger Syirah nanti or bagi dia susu je.

6. Health - If your child has a cold please ensure you have seen a doctor before the flight to check if the child is fit to fly. Even if the doctor says it's OK, please use your judgment. I see kids flying a cold and they really are in a bad state for take-off & landing. It is extremely painful for them if they are all congested & blocked up and they cannot pop their ears. It is very dangerous to their eardrums too! -- hopefully sihat insyaAllah.

7. Bottle heating - If you ask the crew to heat up the baby bottle, please check the temperature of the liquid yourself periodically and don't depend on the crew. They are extremely busy and no-one is free even for 5 minutes to stand by the bottle. Crew can unfortunately forget about your bottle for a long time and most crew in Ecomony Class are not mothers themselves (as they are very young) so they do not necessarily know the right temperature for a child's feed.Crew are most willing to help you but please remember, they are extremely busy. -- ala we are their customer what? hehe

8. Rubbish - Get a carrier / plastic bag from the crew, to put your garbage in and keep your area clean. Carry fragranced bags to dispose of daipers and put them in the toilet bins. -- nak beli kat ne fragranced bags ni?

9. Clothes - Carry a change of clothes for your child ALWAYS and it is advisable to carry a change of top / t-shirt for yourself too. You NEVER know when you will need it... -- baju Mama pun kena prepare ni..dibuatnya Syirah vomit ke.

Kalau u ols ada experience or any tips, sila la share. Sangat dialu-alukan.
