Nobody likes sitting near a crying baby on a plane, and that includes the parents. If you're traveling with a baby, there are some things you can try for a smoother flight:
If your baby is a good sleeper, try scheduling flights around normal sleeping or nap time. On the other hand, if your baby is a finicky sleeper, avoid those times.
For an infant, ask for the bulkhead or front row and request a bassinet.
Eating or drinking during takeoff and landing is important. The more your child swallows, the easier it will be for their ears to adjust to the changes in cabin pressure.
Avoid the aisle seats, tots can get injured by passing travelers, luggage or food carts, and if you're lucky enough to have a sleeping baby, you'll want less activity.
If all else fails, and your baby starts to cry, take a deep breath, stay calm and focus on your child. If fellow passengers seem irritated, just smile and remind them you're doing the best you can.
