What are the requirements for children to fly?

From a medical perspective, pregnant women, elderly people, and infants are not suitable for flights. Of course, in a strict sense, it is actually different from individual to individual. Because the average cruising height of an airplane is above 10000 meters, high altitude and low oxygen environments are not suitable for infants. Many airlines require that infants must be born 14 days before boarding the plane, to avoid the inability of the respiratory organs to adapt. For a slightly larger baby (such as your child), the ear and ear tube are sensitive, which may cause ear discomfort at high altitude. In severe cases, airsickness may occur. Parents can guide infants to take measures in the air or by swallowing water. If you cannot handle the problem, you should promptly ask for help from the flight attendant !!!
There are also some materials for your reference:
Select a direct flight: starting or landing is the most difficult time for babies to adapt. Sudden changes in stress often result in imbalance between the internal and external pressure of the pipeline in which the throat passes through the middle ear. Obviously, reducing the number of flights reduces the risk factor of children. Therefore, it is best to select a flight that can reach the destination.
In addition, the best way to relieve the discomfort of a baby on the plane is to let him or her suck a pacifier or use a bottle to drink water, and use sucking to balance the internal and external air pressure of the pipeline. Without a pacifier, you can also make your child's mouth contain sugar or drink something, which can also reduce discomfort. When the air in the engine room is dry, you should wipe baby oil to moisturize your skin. From time to time, place one or two drops of saline in your nostrils to avoid nose pain or even nosebleed.
Prepare diapers and clothes for two days: Friends who often go out on the plane will tell you that airlines may occasionally lose or mess up their luggage. You don't want to go to the destination, but you can't find your child's diapers and clothes. So it is best to bring more at hand to avoid temporary blind. In this way, when airlines are looking for luggage for you, you will not feel inconvenient or busy with necessities such as clothes and diapers for your children.
Children's safety seats: although adults are allowed to hold their babies in their arms while on the plane, for safety, airlines strongly recommend that all children on the plane, regardless of their age, it is best to sit in a child safety seat that has been verified to fit the child's height and weight. Of course, you have to buy an extra ticket for your child, which costs a lot. In addition, it is troublesome to take it to the plane. It is recommended that you decide based on your own situation. Some cars can also be used in children's safety seats on the plane, so you can take the children's chairs on the car to the plane, but contact the airline in advance, check whether your seat and the device on the plane are correct.
Avoid flights during busy shipping: if your plane has extra space, airlines usually allow you to switch to a relatively spacious location. In this way, you can use your own seat without additional costs.
Place as few things as possible on the top box: When turbulence occurs, the heavy things on the top box are likely to fall down and hit the passengers below. Therefore, it is best not to place heavy loads above the child's seat.
Fasten the seat belt: turbulence may occur at any time during flight. If you don't fasten your seat belt and hold your child in your arms, when the turbulence suddenly comes, a strong impulse may press your child or drop the child to the ground. Therefore, after boarding a seat, the first thing we should do is fasten the seat belt.
Note: Even if you have heard about the security for many times, you should pay attention to the security precautions, read the Security Information Card in the back pocket of the seat, and understand the location of the emergency exit. Because different models have different la S, you need to observe the surrounding environment and find the emergency exit. Sometimes, the nearest exit may be behind your seat. These common sense things may provide important security protection for your and your children's lives at critical moments.
Let the flight attendant know the child's condition: if the child is traveling with illness, in addition to bringing necessary medicines, inform the stewardess of the child's situation before boarding the plane, so that they can be prepared.
The flight attendant is not an aunt who specializes in babies: when boarding or getting off the plane, the flight attendant is happy to serve you and is willing to answer your questions. But it's hard to let them put their hands down and hold their children for you. After all, they are not aunts dedicated to baby care, and many other passengers are waiting for their services. Therefore, before boarding the plane, you must go to the bathroom to avoid inconvenience on the plane.
Don't drink hot tea or coffee: turbulence can happen at any time on the plane. In this case, hot drinks in the cup may be spilled out. It may be either on yourself or other passengers, or on your child's delicate skin, or even burn.
Wear oxygen mask: in an emergency, if an oxygen mask is released, the adults must bring it immediately. If the brain is insufficient for blood supply, adults cannot stay awake to take care of their children. Only by taking good care of yourself can you take good care of your children.
In short, if you can pay close attention to the above issues, it would be much safer and more comfortable to take your children on a plane.
