Flying to Tenerife with a baby or toddler: it’s easier than it seems! ✈️👶

Traveling to Tenerife with a young child is an excellent idea: guaranteed sunshine, beaches, and a relaxed lifestyle. And the good news is that, with a little planning, the flight usually goes very smoothly, even with a baby or young child.
How can you prepare properly for the flight?
Here are the essential points to make everything comfortable and stress-free:

Seat reservations: try to reserve seats together as early as possible. Many airlines offer the option of reserving a travel bassinet for babies weighing up to around 10–12 kg. Request it when booking.
Hand luggage: choose a well-organized changing bag containing everything you will need during the flight (diapers, wipes, a complete change of clothes, pacifiers, a stuffed animal, and a small toy).
Food and hydration: breastfeeding or bottle-feeding during takeoff and landing helps greatly to relieve ear pressure (thanks to swallowing). Bring some snacks and an empty water bottle to fill up after security.
Entertainment: a tablet with downloaded cartoons, books, small toys, or quiet games. For older children, a new surprise during the flight often works wonderfully.
Comfortable clothing: dress the baby in clothes that are easy to change and in layers (temperatures vary on the plane).
Travel first-aid kit: a small kit with paracetamol, saline solution, nappy-rash cream, and any regular medication.

Tip for parents: try to arrive at the airport a little early. Most major airports offer free loaner strollers for families.
