Traveling with Children
The following tips should help both parents and kids arrive at their destination with smiles on their faces.
If you have a long trip scheduled, "red-eye" flights may be best. This increases the chance that your youngster will be able to sleep through the majority of the trip.
While any child under two is not required to have their own seat, they may be happier if they do. Purchase a ticket for your infant as well, and use a FAA certified car seat.
If you do use a car seat, make sure it has been certified for air travel.
Bring toys your children have never used -- the newness will hold their attention longer.
Bring plenty of juice. Air travel can be dehydrating, especially for children.
Wrap up "surprises" for your children to pull out when they get especially restless.
Finger foods are a great distraction.
When traveling with your baby, give him/her a bottle or pacifier to suck on during takeoff and landing. This will help equalize the ear pressure and keep your baby comfortable.

Visa :
It is always advisable to check the requirement of visa for the country you are intending to visit. If you already have a visa, it is a good practice to recheck the validity and whether it allows multiple entries.
Flight Time/Date of travel: Please re-check on the ticket the scheduled departure time and date of your travel. Economy class passengers are generally expected to report for check-in 3-4 hours prior to scheduled departure time. Particular care with respect to date of travel should be taken if the flight timing is soon after mid-night as the effective date of travel changes at mid-night.
