Traveling with a baby can be a dream or a nightmare, depending on how you handle any changes in the situation. The need for travel does not subside and it is better to be prepared to deal with such situations than just going with the flow. Book cheap flight tickets from USA to India on Tripbeam and know how you can make traveling with your baby for the first time much more comfortable with these tips.
Since passengers travelling with a baby for the first time usually have lots of questions but nowhere to turn to, we have styled up the article in the form of Q and As in the categories of at the airport and in the flight. This will help you know exactly what needs to be done at the moment.
What To Do At The Airport?
Does your baby need a flight ticket for air travel?
Yes, all babies above 2 years of age need a full air ticket for traveling. Till they are of 2 years, they would need a special ticket as they will be traveling on your lap. The special ticket usually costs anything from Rs. 1000 to Rs.1500.
What to take for the identification of your baby?
All airlines need a government approved identification of your baby. This could either be a birth certificate or a passport, both work well for the airport security.
Does baby luggage count as being a part of your cabin luggage?
Most airlines do not count baby luggage as a part of cabin luggage. However, we suggest packing your handbag and baby bag separately so you can deal with luggage better. You can also check in your baby stroller / pram. Or you can carry it till the flight, leaving the stroller at the gate. For this, your stroller needs to be collapsible.

What To Do In The Flight?
All about diaper changes
We suggest changing the baby before you board your flight. This is because when you book cheap tickets to India on Tripbeam or wherever else, you will find that most metropolitan airports have a baby changing room. This makes your work infinitely easier than changing on the flights where the flight bathroom is much more cramped.
Everything about nursing the baby
Carry a dupatta for nursing, both in the airport and the flight. While there are no objections to nursing in the bathroom, the passengers would probably be very inconvenienced if you take the bathroom for 15 to 20 minutes.
On domestic flights, nobody objects to carrying bottled milk (either breast milk frozen / unfrozen or formula) if you inform the security that it is for the baby. However, traveling on international flights is different. So after you pass the security check in, you can ask for hot water at the restaurants to refill your bottle.
We hope this helped you in knowing all you need to prepare beforehand to enjoy the most comfortable flight with your baby. Now you can easily book those cheap tickets to India from Canada on Tripbeam.ca and have a great journey!
