Long-haul flights can be managed by focusing on preparation and engagement. Carry more food, bottles, and diapers than you think you will need to account for potential delays. For takeoff and landing, offer a teether, a pacifier, or an age-appropriate drink to help manage ear pressure. While screens are an option, quieter engagement like sticker books, busy books, or familiar comfort toys are often more effective for keeping toddlers settled for longer periods.
