noughts an crosses on paper or create a visual scavenger hunt that they can cross off things when they can see it on the plane such as ‘person with a beard’, ‘person wearing a green piece of clothing’, a pair of airpods etc – can have pictures printed and when they have found all the items then they win a lolly or 5 minutes of a game on your phone or whatever.

How did the flight go? What did you end up doing to amuse them?

the inflight movie will be great. Pack a bag of unusual little toys from the cheap shop. I think the little one will be ok, will hopefuly sleep for you. good luck.

there are some good comments here

I pads etc would be good. But my son ( 7 ) loves books where you have to find objects

how did it go? we are flying overseas next year so will certainly keep these ideas in mind, for shorter flights i found snacks were great. I took colouring in books but the kids didn’t even use them but better to have options then nothing at all.

Hope all went well on the flight.

An iPad was our saviour!

how did you go on your flight?

being a short flight it shouldn’t be too bad. one movie and you should be there really

Hope all went well with you flight and the kids.

toys, colouring in books etc.

It isn’t really too long a flight, you might find that they have enough to do with looking at everything going on on the plane

Colouring in – usually on that flight they might have a movie playing – depends on what airline you are going on.

I pad or I phone but also remember the flight company give them a little pack with pencils etc in it

I recently flew with my 7 month old to Malaysia (8 hours) and she was surprisingly good. A tip i got from a friend which worked well was buying her a new toy she had never seen before and giving it to her when she got a bit unsettled. We also let her ‘play’ with the iPad – not something I would normally allow but I think in this case it was another good distraction

Have you seen Polly in my pockets they are tiny little dolls that cone with mini houses. My daughter used to play with these for hours,

sticker books, colouring books, books to read and dvds! and just grin and bear your 9 months old

little toys and books, colouring in books and crayons.

oooh colouring in books are a good one!
