What is the last thing you think about when flying solo as an adult? Food right? We expect to get fed on a non-budget flight and unless you have any specific food requirements, we usually don’t give it too much thought after the booking is made.

I like to keep things simple. Not complicated. Just well thought out. Anything to make a flight more enjoyable for the kids and for us as parents too. I also like my kids learning how to be self-sufficient. Giving them some responsibility and letting them feel proud when they achieve something.

This time I chose Tasmania! Come on the journey with us and see why good old Tassie is a great getaway with the whole family. This was our itinerary: Sunday – Launceston In the afternoon we flew with Virgin Australia from Sydney to Launceston, picked up our pre-book

I’m often asked by parents about what essential items will they need when travelling with their kids. Of course there are things that you know they will need while your away but what things will the kids really enjoy having with them. Here are my top 5: Camera – So often its us taking the photos of the kids but why not let them get behind the lens. It is amazing seeing what they thought was great and photo worthy plus it gives you a chance to look back over the photos of the

I know flights seem to be the most stressful part of travelling with kids. I get that – little people, confined spaces, many hours, etc. But what about the airport?
