Top 5 Reasons Why I Love Traveling with Kids onBoard KLM

Filed in archive Kids and Travel on March 1, 2007

Traveling with kids is not easy. It requires extra planning, research and tons of patience.

I have, however, found that some airlines make it a lot easier for parents to cope when traveling with kids. One of those airlines is KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines.

Here are top 5 reasons why I love traveling onboard KLM whenever I fly with my kids:

The stewardesses are child-friendly. For the past 3 years, I have taken 5 round-trip Asia-Europe long haul flights with my kids onboard KLM. On all of those flights, all the stewardesses were not only friendly but they took the extra effort to make sure that my kids and I are comfortable. One even helped my 3 year old son put on his shoes as I as struggling to put my then-3 month old baby on the baby carrier.

My son loves the packaging and the contents of their specially made Child's Meal.

The toy kit they give to kids onboard is well thought of. It's a good addition to the bag of goodies I brought with me to make sure that my kids do not get bored during the long flight.

onBoard entertainment kids channel selection is superb and up-to-date. Yet another great supplement to make sure that my kids are entertained.

Heating up milk onboard is not a problem. And no, they do not use microwave.

What about YOU? WHich airline do you think is best for traveling with kids?
