I know when I was younger and I flew alone my parents paid for an escort that helped me board the flight and move between connecting flights.

I may need to take some internationl trips with LO (after she/he is born in November, probably one around 3 months and one around 7 months age) and my husband may not be able to join us. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of any services that can help you? I think I'd be fine once I check in my luggage (which hubby could help with) and I'd have someone at my final destination who could help as well, but what I'm most concerned about is customs. At one airport in the middle I'd need to go collect all my luggage, go thru customs, and re-check in. Anyone ever heard of a service like that?

I was wondering if I could just have them "escort" the baby, even though I'd be there, just so I could get some help with luggage and moving around.

(Or maybe I should just ship all my stuff in advance and carry very little so I could manage on my own...)
