Airplane/Flying question

meljas05

When flying with children, did you bring any "documentation" for them? Like a birth certificate or anything??  I'm wondering for children you bought a ticket for, as well as for children flying on your lap.  I can't find this info. on the specific airline's website.  

Thanks!

bring a birth certificate... they don't always ask, but sometimes do- better safe to have it.

Are you flying with all three?   I am debating if this is doable : ) 

I only needed documentation when I flew on Southwest and N was almost two.  I used his shot records; it worked.   I've lost his birth certificate and need to get another...Never needed documentation for DD when she had her own seat.

Yeah..................  it should be interesting.  I'm nervous.  Direct flight though, so that'll make it a little better, right?!?  luggage, carseats, carry-ons, stroller, flying down there at bedtime..........what are we thinking?!?

If they have their own seat, you don't need documentation.  I always bring a birth certificate when traveling though.

Good luck!  Let me know how it goes; if I attempt it, will be in March. Direct flights make it easier!   Love those, ours is only 1.5-2 hours however the airport is 2 hours away and MH often isn't able to help much and esp not after security. It's all the stuff leading up to that, TSA, check in that's the PITA.

I'll let you know how things go... You're right---the security check stuff is a HUGE PITA.  (gotta put the stroller and everything through on the belt and carrying kids/trying to get them through the metal detector thing without touching the sides, etc.....)  

And...not to mention the looks we used to get traveling with 2.  I should just attach a sign to my back or something "yes, we have 3, the oldest is not even 3 yet, yes #2 is part tazmanian devil (she is just LOUD with her screams) and I sure hope we don't have to sit by you on the plane either."
