When you are a traveling parent, getting on an airplane with a toddler can be a crazy mental process. It’s typically filled with lots of valid thoughts like this:
“Will my kid crap their pants during take-off and my seat-mates will have to sit and sniff that taco turd for 20 minutes until “The Captain has turned off the seatbelt sign.”
“Can I endure another nasty look from a sassy, well-dressed business women, who wants to punch me in the brain for bringing a tired toddler on this plane?”
“Is there any chance there is another sympathetic, exhausted, travel mom on this plane that I can join forces with and WHY isn’t there an “upgrade to the Family Section” option?”
But add the fun of being stuck in that famous 33E middle seat for what feels like a lifetime, sprinkle on more delayed flights on top of EXTRA delayed flights, wrap it up with a few continuously crabby co-travelers and flight staff, and you’ve got yourself one real adventure.
I’ve spent more time than I can count, right smack dab in the middle of two strangers, with my kid going NUTS. So I dedicate this post to the champions of kid travel, burnt-out mommas, and intensely irritated fellow flyers! Carry on my flight-weary travelers and cheers to 30,000 feet of fun!
