Holidaying with children might seem daunting, but plan ahead as much as possible and it will end up being a doddle. The logistics of making bottles on the plane, wondering where Wi-Fi fits into your holiday or packing all the essentials. We see you...

After all, holidays are about having fun, so you don’t want to be worrying while you're travelling! Here we have ten useful tips.

1. Reach out to our friendly Red Team. No matter what you need help with, we’re always on hand to help. Maybe it’s a spare hand when your young child needs a bit more attention, or maybe it’s to find the nearest charging point for your teen. Ask away!
2. Always allow for extra time when travelling with children. That means, getting to the airport around three hours before departure, especially during the school holidays. This allows for any longer security queues or any extra baby feeds.
3. Why not pre-order all the essentials to your airport pharmacy? That way, you don’t have to worry about forgetting suncream, nappies, wipes or medicines in the run-up to your holiday. You’re probably already busy trying to remember what outfits are best to pack for the kids!
4. When it comes to food, there are a few things to remember. For those little milk monsters, pre-made milk can be taken on the plane. Just remember, it might be chosen for testing at security. Cabin Crew can also heat this up for you, just make sure you have your own container and powder or milk. Secondly, for the older foodies, pre-ordering food for the plane is a good shout, as you don’t have to worry about their favourite snacks running out. They’ll also be served first!
5. Make the most of the 10kg hand luggage included and pack plenty to keep them occupied. Anything from colouring, soft toys, games, toddler headphones and iPads. And don’t forget, you can take your pram right up to the plane door, just before boarding, where it will then have to folded down and stored in the hold by one of our friendly team. You’ll then be able to collect it from the carousel when you reach your destination.
6. Why not choose a window seat? Seeing the rolling waves, miles of countryside or shining lights are fascinating for any age. If it’s their first time flying, this might be a great distraction and makes for a few early Insta-worthy snaps. Head to Manage My Booking to reserve these before you go.
7. Looking at what your entertainment options are before you jet-off is a good way to get the whole family involved in planning any holiday activities. Maybe you have an excursion in mind, a nearby swirly-slide waterpark or maybe just a little pool for your baby to dip their toes in.
8. For any tweens or teens that want to stay in touch with those at home, or those that just like to have some downtime playing a game, our properties usually have Wi-Fi! That’s one tick in the box. We’ll list on our website if your hotel or villa has free Wi-Fi, so you can check beforehand. We understand that staying connected now means being synced to the internet.
9. Is it your little one’s first flight? Let our friendly onboard crew know and we’ll give your little Jet2Junior one of our First Flight Club certificates for you all to remember it by. One for the fridge?
10. Prepare for air pressure! Sometimes the change in cabin air pressure can cause discomfort. Have your little one sip something just before, and during take-off and landing. The swallowing will help the pressure, so some sweets might be good for older children too.
