Best blog read of the morning goes to the ParentHacks site for its suggestions on how to keep your kids happy on a flight:
Make hand puppets out of airplane sick bags
Absolutely. I just love the idea of small children running round the airplane recreating Bart and Homer out of everybody’s sick bag.
And then, of course, you hit a 15 minute pocket of turbulence…
(but keep an extra for its intended use, just in case)
Sure. Right. Has anyone ever see an extra sick bag in front of them?
Thanks to no-frills services we may not see them at all and you’ll have to pack your own.

What parents really need help with (even more than learning about fun creations like sick air bag puppets) is a way of dealing with irritable passengers who make their displeasure about families traveling with young children painfully known. I know several families who don’t go on vacations involving air travel because they don’t want to avoid any in-flight unpleasantries. Too bad there isn’t something like a “parents’ night at the movies” for air travel.
Good call, Andrea!
I find I put up an invisible deflector shield when I travel with my four-year old. Not even the iciest glare from an old crusty in the row behind gets through.
However I have also now trained him to sit in the overhead locker so as not to embarrass me.
