I am travelling next week by air and it would be the first flight for my 6-month-old. Any things that I should keep in mind so that he does not face any issues?

If the bassinet is unavailable, do consider getting a SkyBaby travel mattress which can be attached to your seatbelt. An alternative is the FlyeBaby Infant Travel Hammock which can be attached to your tray table. It is important to secure your baby during air travel. Latch or give your baby a pacifier during takeoff and landing to relieve the pressure in your baby's ears. You can also prepare some toys and books to occupy your baby if you are unable to get a night flight which coincides with his sleep time. http://www.hipvan.com/products/skybaby-travel-mattress http://sg.theasianparent.com/travelling-by-plane-with-your-child/
