Flying WestJet With A Baby…

For our most recent trip to Cuba, we booked online with WestJet Vacations.

WestJet At Pearson, Terminal 3

WestJet At Pearson, Terminal 3

This is WestJet’s first year flying into Cuba (Varadero, Cayo Coco & Holguin), and the first thing that struck me was how civilized the flight times are. Typically for Cuba you’re looking at an at least 7am departure, with 8pm departures home becoming more and more common (VERY difficult with a baby or toddler in tow).

Boobs On A Plane

Ever since the goofy movie “Snakes On A Plane” was released, travel writers far and wide have come up with their own variation of the title for a piece they’ve written.  I am no exception.  One of my most popular articles is called Toddler On A Plane, and I was inspired to write it after the 2nd flight we took with our daughter when she was no longer content to be held on a lap. 

The inspiration for this particular post comes from Julie Cole from over at the Mabelhood - her hilarious post Have Breasts, Will Travel, caught my eye for obvious reasons and I laughed out loud at the end.
