Try and borrow a front pack if you can, then find a school bag or something similar as a carry on bag. Baby on front, bag on back and then a check-in bag on wheels. Then each adult can have a baby and a bag strapped to them, and still easily pull a bag along.

Mix clothing up in the bags. Don't have one check in bag of baby clothes and one check in bag of adult clothes. Cos whats the bet one of the bags won't turn up at the other end and that won't be fun!

Take spare clothes on the plane for yourself/hubby too!!!

Night flights worked well for us in the first year - she just slept in the bassinet for most of the flight! Oh, a dark cloth to put over the bassinet on the plane so the lights coming on/off and people walking past don't disrupt them.
I preferred a carrier to a stroller to cart baby around the airport - then there's no drama about whether it'll meet you at the gate at the other end.
Feeding/sucking on landing is more important than take off but both is good if you can get them to do it.
If you can get hold of the departure/arrival forms in advance and fill them in early it's really handy. It means that you're not trying to do it whilst juggling a baby on your lap or in your arms.]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 17:04:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336816&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336762&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336762 Author: kiwisj

I vote for the onsie option too Even with one baby I prefer it!

If you use dummies, use dummy clips as well - saves you trying to find dummies off the floor if they spit them out.

If your babies are in sleeping bags at night/for naps take them on the plane for sleeps. Helps to keep them warm too.

Don't forget a change of clothes for yourself for the flight. And plastic bags

Different people have different ideas re stopovers for long haul travel. Personally I would do a one/two night stopover for a trip that long if you can fit it in. Mostly to give yourself a chance at a decent stretch of sleep and a good walk/decent food! But completely understand wanting to get to where you're going as fast as possible too. Singapore and Hong Kong are both easy places to stop if you decide to do it.

Yep stretch n grows. That way you don't need to worry about losing socks and what not. Already there's heaps of clutter with 2 babies and this means you just need to pick out 1 item from the bag rather than 2.

But that's just me, I like simplicity ]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 14:49:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336678&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336678 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336676&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336676 Author: Nutella

Stretch and grows? I would say dress in tops and bottoms as then if something happens to one end the whole outfit doesn't need to be changed in the teeny weeny cubicle lol.

Also don't forget that planes can be chilly.]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 14:46:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336676&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336676 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336592&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336592 Author: tishy

- Request bassinets

- Free hands are more important than excess carry on baggage.

- If you don't own baby carriers then I'd rent some from your local MB club.

- If you're formula feeding then take the formula in pre measured containers.

- The staff will provide hot water for your bottles.

- Dress the boys in stretch n grows.

- You can buy disposable bibs in the supermarket

-If you use dummies then take HEAPS.


We did the trip when our twins were 10 months and survived. Good luck!

Has anyone got any hints tips or advice on long haul travel with young twins. We are heading to the UK with our 3 month old boys soon (madness I know) for a big family gathering.]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 12:49:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39373&PID=1336566&title=travelling-with-little-babies#1336566
