![]() ![]() Those folks seem to be able to have more control over the seat selection. We even got the baby to fall asleep lying down in the seat on a few flights! So lesson learned? Always check again at the gate. The extra room makes such a nice difference to give the baby somewhere to sit and move around. And you know what? For about half of our flights, it turned out it wasn’t entirely full, and they were able to do a little switcharoos and give us that empty middle seat. Who’s going to *want* a middle seat over a window anyway, right?īut just as a double check measure, when we got to the gate, we would go up and ask again if the airplane was full. So we assumed that we would have someone sitting in between us and would just ask them if they wanted the window instead (and we would take the middle and aisle). On all the flights we went on we asked when we were checking in if the flight was full – and the answer was always yes. We did this because the middle seat is always the last one selected, so we figured if there were by chance some empty seats on the flight, a middle one (especially near the back) is the most likely to be left open. When we booked our tickets, we chose a window and aisle seat fairly close to the back of the plane. Here was some of the stuff that worked for us. I was definitely nervous before going, but in the end found it not to be too bad. ![]() Some were nighttime flights, some were daytime ones, and all had connections. I’m definitely no expert, but both were long enough travel days and used different airlines, so I feel like we had a bit of variety in our experience. So now that we have made our trip to Florida when my infant was three months old, and our recent trip to Puerto Rico for my girlfriend’s wedding when my baby was six months, I feel like I can pass on some tips and tricks for flying with a baby.
