We always bring our PnP. E will not co-sleep with us anymore, and he'd walk right out of a floor bed. But we've never flown with it (or flown with him, period).

I have flown with it, once packed into my checked luggage, once as a separate checked item.

we for road trips around the state. we are flying for the first time and requested one from the resort. we are going to bring our own blanket/sheet, but wanted to save the space for taking a pnp.

how old is LO?

We don't fly with ours...too cumbersome.
first we try to borrow one.
If we are are staying in a king size bed we co sleep.
if all else fails we get a cheap one shipped to that address from walmart.com or no better deal ($45) which is less than it eould cost to check ours.

@BeachMama: We have the Bjorn crib and have flown with it a few times. Be very very careful with this option! The times we have flown with it in Europe it has counted as a baby item (like a stroller or car seat) and they didn't charge. However, when we were coming back with it from Asia this spring, they wanted to charge us $150 because it was considered extra baggage, even though we were flying on an European airline. After some haggling, they let us carry it on since we were under the carry on limit. Thankfully it fit in the overhead, but it was a big plane and there is no way it would have fit on a small airplane.

How long will you be at your in-laws, and do you plan on visiting often? The first time we went to visit my dad (10 day trip), I had him buy a used PNP from a children's consignment store, and now he keeps it at his house for our future visits. Maybe that could be an option?
