Taking our first long flight with teens. Any tips on seat assignments (aisle vs window), noise-canceling headphones, and etiquette (headphones for videos, mindful seat reclining)? What do you pack for better sleep?
Hey teen_travel_parent, I totally relate—flying with teens can be quite the adventure! My top tips: Let your teen help pick seats (Steven loves the window, Alex prefers the aisle for easy bathroom trips). Noise-canceling headphones are essential—just remind them to keep volume down so they stay aware. For etiquette, I always tell my kids to ask before reclining and use headphones for all media. For sleep, we pack neck pillows, an extra hoodie, and a sleep mask. Also, before flights I review tech rules and safety reminders with my kids—so everyone’s on the same page! Safe travels!
