Surviving Early Morning Flights With A Baby, Toddler, Or Young Child…

Early Morning flight travel with baby toddler

Sun Comes Up, It's Travel-Day Morning

I was definitely dreading it, our first flight with baby. Not only had I read horror story after horror story about how she was going to scream the entire time and everyone would be shooting daggers at us, but I also had to drag my sweetly sleeping baby out of her crib a solid 5 hours earlier than I usually would!

Booking a flight at 7:30 made sense at the time, we were always up then anyway. It was only after I had paid for everything that it occured to me we had to be at the airport 3 hours before that, therefore leaving the house 45 minutes before that! We had to get up at what time?

Flying Southwest Airlines With A Baby

We’re fortunate enough to be within a reasonable driving distance from Buffalo airport, so we’re able to take advantage of the almost laughably cheap airfares that peeps South of the 49th parallel enjoy.  This is the 2nd year in a row that we’ve chosen to fly Southwest to get to Florida, and if airfares remain what they are with Canadian carriers, I doubt we’ll head to FLA from Pearson ever again.  The airfare for all 3 of us is the cost of one seat on either major Canadian airline.
