Our First Flight with Toddler Twins (and How We Survived)

Flying with one toddler is an adventure. Flying with two at the same time? That takes a plan.

Book the right seats

We always book a window and middle in the same row, plus the aisle across. Each parent gets a twin and an escape route.

Pack a "surprise bag" for each twin

Small wrapped toys from the dollar store, opened one per hour. It buys you more peace than any tablet.

Gate-check the double stroller

You get it back at the jet bridge. Ask for two gate-check tags at the desk before boarding starts.
