With Charlie it was when he was 2 1/2. He threw 4 huge tantrums on our 8 flights to the Philippines/LA/NY and we just couldn't reason with him. He was hot, overtired, didn't want to put on his seatbelt. Olive is now that age and we're leaving for the Philippines this Friday so I'm a little scurred!

It's always been easy to travel with Olive because I was nursing (she's been on 18 flights). This is the first flight she'll be on sans nursing.

After that rough trip when Charlie was 2 1/2, he is totally fine on any flight now that he's older.

What age was rough travel-wise for you?
