We went on a total of 9 flights in his first 14 months of life. To be honest, the first time at 4 months was the hardest and it got way easier the older he got. I don't regret taking that trip though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993554 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:23:52 +0000 lamariniere 993554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His very first trip was a 3 hour car trip at 4 months. He wailed for most of it because my city baby had never really been in a car, and he hated it. The first plane ride was at 7 months from the US to France. He was fine, but I was still so tired from not sleeping (in general, he was definitely not STTN)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993408 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:45:42 +0000 Mrsbells 993408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have been on driving trips but not on a flight,. we did a 12 hour drive when she 7 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993356 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:32:38 +0000 tysonja 993356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took him on his first out of country flight at 4m and then again at 7m and 11m. The younger he was the easier!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993271 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:14:51 +0000 sarac 993271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, unless you have a really loud baby, that is a very easy time to take them on a trip. They just sit in your lap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993262 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:13:20 +0000 ShootingStar 993262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning to take DS on a trip to Florida to visit my parents when he's about 4 months old. I've heard it's a great time to travel with babies because they're so portable. He'll probably be happy to sit with us on the plane, as opposed to wanting to walk/crawl around like an older baby. </p> <p>We also kind of want to do Vegas for DH's 30th b-day when DS is ~9months old. I can't decide if that's crazy or not though, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993216 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:55:50 +0000 prettylizy 993216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took her on a flight at 5ish months. I was terrified and didn't really 'feel' ready, but we did it and she was a champ. Luckily it was a direct flight and only 3ish hours each way. She slept almost the entire time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-ready-to-take-lo-on-vacation#post-993176 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:49:26 +0000 illumina 993176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old were they and how long was the flight? </p> <p>Haven't had a holiday this summer and need something to look forward to next year April/May time when LO will be 7-8mths old... or maybe even sooner if we think we can manage it! </p>
