When you’re travel with kids in tow, you need to know that everything is going to be made as easy as possible. Travel isn’t the easiest thing in the world when you’re alone, but when you add a bored, tired, and probably tantrum-prone child into the mix, everything becomes ten times harder.
Of course, travel broadens the mind and as parents, you want your child to experience some of the best destinations in the world. That means traveling via plane much of the time. The good news is that there are several airlines notorious for making travel with kids easier and more enjoyable. If you’re keen to travel in the easiest way possible, check out these airlines.
Air Canada
There isn’t much more that Air Canada could possibly do for families and they’re a top choice whether flying long haul or regular length. There is a check in area for families only, with activity packs and food for kids. There are also activity packs on flight and a great kids’ menu, which again, is perfect for picky eaters.
United Airlines
Not only do United Airlines fly to a wide range of destinations, but they’re also very family friendly too. With priority boarding services for passengers with children under two years of age, the whole process is made easier from the start. They also provide snack boxes for kids and activities, to keep your child fueled up and occupied until the plane lands in your destination.

British Airways
A big named airline with some great features for kids. British Airways provide activity packs for children on their longer haul journeys and the packs are tailored to the age of the child. That means your almost teen doesn’t have to read stories that really don’t interest them! They also have a great kid’s menu in-flight, ideal for picky eaters.
Alaska Airlines
The great thing about Alaska Airlines is that they’re pretty reliable. Not only that, but they also have great features for children onboard. With in-flight films that are ideal for kids and snack boxes (for a small fee), kids will be occupied and therefore (hopefully) tantrum-free.
Etihad
Etihad are known for their top quality service and that certainly extends to family friendly options too. There s an actual nanny on board the plane and although this doesn’t mean you can drop your child with the nanny and go and lay down, it does means that unsettled children can benefit from the nanny’s expert skills. This could be a godsend for you on a long haul flight!
