Where to book Air Canada Flight Tickets
Bookings and check-ins can be done at any of the Air Canada offices on the day of the flight or any day prior to that date.
Online bookings can be done at hotels.ng/flights
Flying with Children
Any child under the age of 2 is considered an infant. We welcome babies as young as 7 days on board but each bundle of joy has to be accompanied by a passenger aged 16 or older.
If the seatbelt sign is on and your baby is on your lap you have to hold on securely and if the infant has his or her own seat then you?ll need to use an approved child restraint device.
The Unaccompanied Minor service is not available for children below the age of 8, is mandatory for children aged 8 to 11 (inclusive), and is optional above age 11. It is only available on direct flights.
WHAT TO BRING
Here are some items to carry when travelling with an infant:
Snacks, purees, juice, breast milk if necessary
Spare clothing
Wet wipes
Milk bottle, if necessary
First aid kit (acetaminophen, oragel, zinc paste...)
Toys
Bring enough diapers: paper diapers are not always available when travelling.
Air Canada, for no extra fee, allows you to put a gate-checked stroller and a car seat in the baggage hold.
EAR CONGESTION
As with adults, takeoff and landing often produce ear pain due to changes in air pressure. A trick that really works is to have your child chew something. You can try breastfeeding, a pacifier, a bottle or food since swallowing helps relieve your little one?s ear pain.
MEALS
On international flights, as well as when travelling in Business Class, we offer purees for children under the age of 2, and meals featuring items such as hamburgers, chicken fingers and sandwiches for children over the age of 2. Simply mention your meal preference while making your seat reservations. Plan ahead and bring your child?s favourite snacks just in case!
Advice to Keep Children occupied on longer flights
Pack little gifts/rewards
This is the oldest trick in the book and it works like a charm. Wrap tiny toys and gifts to reward your child for being well behaved every half- hour or hour depending on the duration of the trip. Kids love gifts and surprises and will be eager to get them. These gifts don?t have to be expensive and can even be old forgotten toys. Children will love it either way. Try to limit the gifts to soft, stuffy toys or threats, because solid toys might easily injure the kids or other passengers if thrown towards them.
Get a portable DVD player or tablet
The kids of these generation are very tech savvy and curious. Bringing along a portable DVD/ tablet will help occupy most of the kid?s time and help to reduce boredom. Just like the gift they can be used as a reward for good behavior. Cartoons and animated movies should be stored on the tablets and DVDs carried along for the DVD player.
Before you board, download some kids? games or kid-friendly apps to your tablet (make sure to switch it to Airplane mode for the flight). Some good ones include Bubbles (where you simply have to pop bubbles with your finger, an endlessly fascinating pastime for toddlers), Toddler Cars (animations of all sorts of vehicles, complete with noises - make sure to bring headphones) and Peppa Pig Happy Mrs Chicken (chances are your child is obsessed with Peppa Pig, so anything starring the pink one will inspire awe, but this is actually a pretty good game).
Carry a pillow & blanket
Small children can sit on a pillow so they can see out of the window better, while older children may find sleeping more comfortable with a pillow. A blanket is also good as its familiarity will comfort your child as well keep them warm if it gets chilly on-board. Read our review of the best travel pillows on the market
Use ?a Trunki
A trunki is a brand of ride/carry-on hand luggage for children. They may appear a little overpriced, but Trunkis are a lifesaver for entertaining little ones when you?re in long queues, as your kid can happily propel him/herself around while sitting on top. Not only that, the strap allows you to pull your child around, saving their tired little legs if your walk to the departure gate is a long one.
A bit expensive,but , a few cheaper forms of ride-on luggage are gradually trickling onto the market, like Skoot Kid's and Kiddee Cases.
Plan your flight in 15-minute slots
Divide the entire flight duration into 15- minutes intervals. For a three-hour journey you need around ten activities to keep young kids entertained (as the first and last 15 minutes you can occupy them by looking out the window for take-off and landing). CBeebies magazines, a favourite story book, drawing, Snap, and snacks are all good activities to keep them entertained. It's unlikely you will need all ten (especially if you manage to get them to sleep) but better to have too many than too few.
Get Stickers
Choosing and pasting stickers is a fun activity to engage your kids in. the best part about this is that it takes up a whole lot of time. Give them a lunch box, water bottle or even their shoes to decorate. You will probably end up having to unpeel stickers from their body parts and maybe even parts of the seat afterwards, but that?s a little price to pay for having them composed and quiet for about an hour.
Carry sweets along
This is for a more practical reason. You know that popping felling your ears makes while the plane is taking off or landing? Well, its much worse for kids, it causes painful ears for them. It is common practice to give babies a bottle to encourage them to suck and swallow. The same principle is applicable to children, if you give your child a lollypop (ideally sugar free) for take off and landing. It helps to soothe them and distract them from the potentially scary sensation.
Bring foods that last longer
Offer your kids foods that will take them longer to eat, this helps to occupy your child for longer. A box of raisins is great because it contains natural sugars, while strawberries, grapes and cherry tomatoes are similarly healthy and fun to eat (although potentially messier than raisins). It is not advisable to give kids sweets or candies during a flight. The sugar increases their level of energy thereby making them more active and restless.
Watch out of the ?Aero plane Police?!
And if after trying out all the methods mentioned above to kill time and distract your child it still doesn?t work- this one is always a winner. Simply let your child know of the ?Aero plane Police? who goes around looking for badly behaved children to take off the flight. Kids are very likely to fall for this, especially as the air hostesses are constantly walking up and down the aisle.
Moderation is the key with this tip, as were not trying to encourage you to scare your child out of their mind. A stern warning will be effective enough to get them on their best behavior.
