A TUI cabin crew member has shared valuable advice for passengers preparing to fly, especially those with children, as the summer break draws to a close. With many families set to embark on last-minute holidays, Danielle Halstead, a TUI cabin crew relations manager at Manchester Airport, offers tips to make air travel more peaceful.
Flying can be challenging, especially with young travellers, due to unfamiliar settings and disrupted routines. Danielle advises passengers to bring extra layers for comfort on the flight. She also suggests packing spare outfits, favourite toys or blankets for children, and adjusting sleep schedules to new time zones while in the air.
Staying hydrated is crucial, and Danielle recommends fruits and vegetables as tasty alternatives for children who dislike water. For families, she suggests bringing a variety of toys and activities to keep kids engaged, along with a fully charged power bank. It’s essential to pack medications in hand luggage to be prepared for emergencies.
Danielle’s final piece of advice is to seek assistance from cabin crew whenever needed. Passengers should not hesitate to ask questions or chat with crew members during the flight. By following these tips, passengers can make their flying experience smoother and more enjoyable.
