I did a 24 hour trip to Russia by myself , my kids are 4 and 2 yo. 3 planes , the longest was 10 hour flight. And what saved us was many brand new dollar store toys and snacks! (And movies of course) These are great ideas, thank you Emily!

[@DoctorMalwareOfficial]

Wow your brave 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mrsemilynorris]

So proud Leah! Thank you so much for watching xx

[@SalmaANM]

I just barely survive a 4 hour flight 🙈 15 hours that’s amazing 🙌🏽

[@mrsemilynorris]

Haha thanks Salma. I genuinely think the biggest stress is getting on the plane, obviously 15 hours is a lot, perhaps we've lucked out with our kids! Thank you so much for watching xx

[@mrsemilynorris]

@@rbnutwood2735 Haha great advice!! Thank you so much for watching xx

[@SalmaANM]

Emily Norris don’t sell yourself short, I’m sure the advance planning and organisation is making the difference nothing to do with luck ❤️

[@mydailystar445]

Wooow how amazing some airports have soft plays..! I need this for my trip with my littleone

[@KenshoQuest]

It's nice to see your kids entertaining each other! Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I don't bring toys on the flight for my toddler (15-months-old). We just pack lots of snacks! I found with my first kid that he tended not to play with the toys I packed, so we gave up on them.

[@Amyscounsellingpractice]

I have been watching you since you had 5,000 subscribers. You are just amazing and you are my inspiration. Albeit my channel isn't a patch on yours (obviously) but I have passion and you just inspire me to keep doing something I'm passionate about. I don't normally comment but you really do amaze & inspire me, as a Mother, and a successful business woman. Xxxx

[@nichabilanski3770]

love your videos so much and was wondering if you could do a video on how to find vacation deals for family especially large family. love from canada!!

[@danelled1185]

Yes plaese🙏🤗

[@mrsemilynorris]

Hi Nicha. I have been on at Matt about doing this video as he organises most of our holidays. I think the main bit of advice I have learnt if you have kids in school so are governed by the school holidays, is to book early as you don't tend to get too many actual deals in the school holidays if you leave in to last minute. I'll work on Matt for the video. Thank you so much for watching xx

[@srividhya4525]

Amazing how u actually handle n keep them occupied for such long flight...this actually helps mom's like us to know some tips thanx a lot..luv luv 🤗🤗🤗

I remember growing up when I was 10 on a Qantas flight from Adelaide to England, 24hr. My mum, dad, my 12yo sister and my 5yo sister. All we got was a colouring in book, that’s it.😐 But I do remember being able to spend a good hour in the cockpit of the 747-338 jumbo jet. Was the greatest moment of my childhood life.😁

[@jodiannchin925]

Hey Emily thanks so much for this, we're taking a shorter flight than what we're used to (I think the longest with 3 was 15 or 16hrs) we're flying to NY tomorrow with our 8, 6, 4 & 1 year old it'll be my baby boys first flight - I'm nervous!! Were flying home from Miami so a little longer, but the Gatwick to NY flight is only about 8hrs so not bad! 👍🏽

[@RachaelDodd]

Hey can you link the details where you got the inflatable seat I really need one😊❤

[@MJ-up9qf]

Hi Emily Thank you so much for all your helpful tips and tricks. Can I ask in regards to the snacks/entertainment you pack for your boys. Do you pack everything including snacks x 2 on account of the return flight. Xx

[@Marwa.AR2019]

my son is 3 and we have two flights this year, one domestic and one internationally. what are your packing and seats tips could you give me. thanks

[@12tahminas]

My son loves playing with water, it's the only thing he's play with for ages without getting bored I don't think I can bring that along lol

[@mrsemilynorris]

Haha no but who knows I bet there's something out there that would suffice. Thank you so much for watching xx

[@angelmenjivar91]

Was a car seat required for your younger boy?

[@bamz9067]

Hia I was wondering if you think a nearly 3 year old needs a car seat for a 4 hour flight . Im taking my little one away and would like to a avoid having to bring one if I can

[@mrsemilynorris]

I don’t think they will need one at all. They’ll probably like sitting in the big seat and walking around a little xx

How do you manage to take young children to coastal waters? I am in need of safety tips for my 4 year old grandson. I am very nervous to take him to natural water areas and I don't want him to pick up my anxiety. I have followed your vlogs and appreciate your parenting values. Thank you in advance.

[@marjoriesanmartinc.20]

Hi! Was Jackson potty trained when you did this trip? Was it difficult to use the airplane bathroom with him? I have a 27 month old boy and a near 9 hour flight in a month, he'd just been potty trained and I'm a little nervous about that 😅
