Flying with the Kids! (7 Tips for Moms)
Ben was best man in his friend’s wedding last month, so we packed up the family and flew to Florida! Travel with kids is always an adventure.
In this video I share some of our top tips for flying with kids, and things we do to make the journey less stressful and more enjoyable!

Foods that require a lot of chewing like mini bagels are good during flight (especially take off and landing) are good for popping ears.

Thanks! I’m flying alone with three little ones and I’m taking all the notes I can 😀
I can't believe the beautiful eyes on your Little girl..Just adorable God bless her.
Your kids have the most STUNNING eyes 🤩
I like to put a change of clothes in my husband’s suitcase and vice versa, in case one of us has our luggage lost, which has happened before.

Thats actually a pretty smart idea no matter what kind of family member(spouse, sibling etc)you are traveling with
I love the way Spurgeon talks to us, your viewers, and explains things during your videos when you point the phone at him. He's learning to be social media savvy like his mom!

Spurgeon is such an educator, possible teacher, professor, "minister." Love it...
Ivy holding onto her cup holder when taking off and landing 🥰 The kids are so well behaved wherever they go!
So sweet to see Ivy and Henry get to dance and have fun like little kids

When I was four months old, our family was transferred to Australia. My dad had to go ahead of us to get the housing and work stuff situated. My mom flew with me (4 months) and my sister (4.5 years) from DC to LAX to Hawaii to New Zealand to Australia. It took over 36 hours, and my sister gets car sick and plane sick, so we were a 1980’s vomiting disaster. My mom said labour was quicker and easier than this trip, and references it often.......lol

I make coloring binders with dollar store coloring books. I cut out the pages of the coloring books and punch holes in then to fit in a binder then I get a pencil holder that goes into a binder and fill it with crayons and put it in the binder. Makes it much easier if you have more then one kids you can just take one thing and not have to bring more then one coloring book.
I think i've watched this about 7x now, there's just something relaxing about watching your family, you guys are so chill and your children are so well behaved and adorable ❤
You make mothering look easy. Always calmly in control.
Everyone on the plane: "Oh no! 3 little kids! Uuuggghhh! This is going to be a long flight!" Me in my head: "Y'all will be ok. Ben and Jessa are raising some amazing kids!" 🥰

Plus they have Spurgen - who's like a second dad. ♥
I would dress my kids in a different color than blue jeans since most passengers wear them. As a small toddler stands up you don’t want them to blend into the crowd. My daughter I would dress in yellow. Easily visible. Also take a trip picture so that you can remember what they are wearing.

Jessa those are great tips you gave!! I used several of the same tips when I took my daughter to Orlando/Tampa Florida, she was 7 at the time! We went to Sea World 3 times and we scheduled a special night to have dinner with Shamu the whale and some of his family members! After dinner with went to see the night time whale show. It was an amazing show, much different than the day time show! We went to Discovery Code and swam with the Dolphins and swam and fed the stingrays. When we went to Tampa and stayed at Marriott on beach! This was our time to mellow out, collecting sea shells and got called out one night to see newborn sea turtles make their way to the ocean! We swam in the pool and ocean but had to be careful and wear sea shoes and kick around because it was their mating season. We went the next year as well and I took my niece with us. She's 5yrs older than my daughter! We had another great time. Now I have a grandson and a great nephew and my niece and daughter they would like to take their sons and invited me to go along and I know I'll probably be watching them in the evening but I fill the tub and wash their hair and we will stay the same place where we saw the fireworks from Sea World! I got my daughter a see through backpack and me one. I had snacks, drinks 2 sandwiches, chips, and we filled our water bottles up too! God Bless you and your family!!😇🙏🎂
Ivy’s face during takeoff is me every time I fly 😂 and not just at takeoff either, throughout the whole flight! I hate to fly.

Mini fun bags! Dollar store trip --however many hours the flight is you get that many items per child--every hour or every half hour (for younger ones with less patience) they get a new item! Tiny puzzle or magnetic game or something safe (not choking hazard) or tiny book---very cheap but can keep them excited for every hour! Worked so well on our car trip that was 27hrs! with 2 little ones
Without a doubt, you and Ben make beautiful offspring. I have raised all 3 of my sons, but I would have loved to know a few of your suggestions. I had to hold our baby on a flight from Nashville to Lebanon New Hampshire. My husband held our toddler. I was also 6 months pregnant. The baby had a blow out lol. Coming back we were so fortunate to be given a front seat that had tons of space in front of us so we could put the kids down on a blanket to play. We found that Stewards were so helpful coming back. A sure way to get seated all together is if your child does have a blow out ...so even that can work out. Love the tuxedos on the boys at the wedding. You are amazing parents.
Toys they have never seen, lollipops, new color books (those special markers that do not color on anything but the magic paper are great). Their favorite snacks. Also having a favorite toy and a bag with their favorite character they get to wear is a great motivator for those that like to be the big kid. All stuff that helped while traveling with our 3 kids.
The boys looked SO adorable in their little tuxedos. Ivy always gorgeous :).
Sunset flights are the best! What a gorgeous view!

It appeared you all did great traveling with small children. I am impressed. I remember as a child, (i am in mid 50s an old fart lol) we used to count cows on road trips. Which ever side you were on then that was your side to find cows. But you looked out for grave yards on the opposite side. If you spotted one then the other person lost all their cows. Who ever had most cows at end of trip won the game. Lol looking back, it is funny at the thinga we did to keep kids entertained. Lol

we did something similar- sometimes we'd count how many cars of a certain colour, or usually we'd count motorcycles on a 12hr drive to salt lake city. helped keep us more aware of how many are on the roads and kept us occupied.

What a cute game ! 😆 I use to have my kids find signs that start with the letter A , then B and so on and see if the can get through the whole alphabet . I remember them asking when it would be a hard letter like X "Mom , do license plates count ? " 😅
Ivy's look when the plane was taking off was priceless, that is my face as well! This is the cutest Duggar family.
Henry has those big, wide open eyes (Ivy too). Those blond curls. He is gorgeous. But then so is Spurgeon (looks just like Mom) and Ivy. And well behaved too. Its such a pleasure to watch your vlogs.

Y’all are such great parents😊❤️
Your such a good mom Jess!! And brave for taking 3 smaller kids on an airplane. Thank goodness it wasn’t that far to fly. Watching your videos always brings back such fond memories of when my 3 girls were little like yours. Glad you all had a good time. 👍🏻😃
When we go for a long car trip or airplane trip I pack a back pack for the oldest to carry that has little toys they haven't seen for awhile or new ( new to us ) toys they haven't seen and ones cheap enough I don't mind loosing just in case to keep them busy. Works well for the hotel time as well.
I love all the art hanging in your dining room!! Kid art rocks Mama!!
Such bright inquisitive children!
God bless your family. Made me feel happy with the innocent and cute kids.
Hi Jessa, you are such a good mom! Kids are so well behaved too :) You think of everything. Great tips. Something I do is make a quick run to The Dollar Tree store (or whichever dollar store you have in Arkansas) ( hide them till everyone’s seated on the plane) then bust out the Disney super fun items you find or coloring books (things they don’t normally get) and surprise them! They’ll love it and you probably only spent 8 bucks at most. Hope you all had fun. You are my favorite Duggar:)
Thank you Seewald family for your tutorialon flying with Little’s and saving money 👌🏻
I always look forward to you vlogs, I love the Duggar program but it hardly keeps up with things happening so fast. Lol. At least with the vlogs we can see what's going on in real time, not 6 months to a year behind. Love you and your sweet family. Congratulations to you and Ben on your new blessing that's on the way.
You have such well behaved children Jessa. Says a lot about what good parents they have. 🌹
I love watching your beautiful family. Your sweet babies are adorable your daughters eyes are exactly like yours, big and absolutely gorgeous. Love you guys 💖💖💖
When we flew international it was throughout the night so the few weeks leading up to it we made sure to eat dinner at the same time the plane was providing dinner and bedtime when the planes lights went out to get the kiddos used to it and ready for the flight. Made traveling 10 hours much easier and kids slept about 7/10 hours!

Jessa you are such a mature young lady and wonderful mother. Since I've been watching 19 Kids and Counting, and have seen you grow up, I feel like a proud Aunt watching your videos. 😘 beautiful couple you and Ben are, and your children are adorable. Ivy is your mini me. Congratulations on the new pregnancy. God is good! ✝️🙌❤ Look up the song THE BLESSING. That's my prayer for you all. 🙏 I'm a 51 yr old grammie from RI and love the whole Duggar clan. May God continue to be your portion. Thank you for sharing your precious family with us all. 💗
I cannot get over how fast your babies are growing up y’all!
I'm glad you and your family got to get away. I hope you had a nice time on your vacation. I feel the same way as you Jessa. As much as I love to travel I think the best part of a trip is coming home.
It looked like Ivy was doing a little dance at the wedding😊!! Your kids are so cute and well behaved. Congratulations on your 4th pregnancy, so exciting!
Thank you for sharing your family with us ❤️
Thanks for these tips. Going to use some of them. Your boys are beautiful and baby girl did such a great job traveling.
Times have changed. My children would get to go up and meet the pilot and see the cockpit. They got airplane stickers and a deck of playing cards. If you flew during a meal time, you could choose chicken or beef. The only hint I would have is show your children where they keep the sick bag. Amazing how that helps if one gets sick.

I have always used the gel ear plugs for swimming for my son when we fly. His ears do not pop. I have used them since he was an infant. I have even passed them around to adults who have ear problems when taking off and landing 😉
It is so nice that you guys got to go To Florida Go You have a lovely family and very prepared🙂💞
Thanks for sharing your trip. I have yet to get on a plane. It has been many years since we traveled distances by car with our children. It was a different time then. We would take turns making up parts of stories about whatever the first person started with. Sock puppets for the smaller ones to join in with the story. We would watch the scenery and talk about who we thought lived in the houses. Back then if kids started to act up we just gave them “the look” and they knew to stop.
Thanks for sharing. I have 4 littles but haven't flown with them yet! 😁 Learned lots of neat tips from this.
The Wedding was beautiful and the boys so cute in their little suits..
Lol my son is 23 YEARS old but I still enjoy all your videos even these type. I could watch y’all all day everyday!😍❤️ You are my fav Duggar child Jessa😌💁🏻♀️
Thank you so much for this!! I am flying to Orlando on Monday with my 8yr old and my 3yr old and they have never been on a plane! I just finished packing everything and I’ll be going over everything one more time this weekend.
Great information. Your children are well behaved. Thank you for sharing. Love to all of you. Congratulations on the new baby coming in the summer.

Model Magic is GREAT for flying!!! Not messy like playdough. And if you make a ball, hours later after it dries, it will bounce.
I really enjoyed this video. Love the Duggar’s. Be blessed.
Adorable family!
I enjoy following your vlog so much Jessa. 💜
Spurge is so interested in all things aeroplanes!
Love all of your videos!
Ivy always looks so serious, but then she has the sweetest smile :)
They are good parents.the kids are so well behaved!!
Your kids are amazing
You are a great mother , watching you how you take care of your kids reminds me of how I did with my son well that was years ago he is going on 34 this year..
We do all these things. Also food they can chew for the airplane for their little ears. And travel super early that way they continue sleeping in the plane 😉
Love these three!!☝️❤! They will steal your heart. .good parenting... Ivys eyes are just like Jessas...
They have the most beautiful children ❤️
Jessa, what a beautiful family you have and what a loving momma you are. I remember seeing your mom dress you guys in similar clothing when going out and I always thought that was a great idea. Cute kiddos and so unbelievably well behaved. Good job!
It's nice to travel but it's definitely lovely to arrive home again💕 In some ways it's one of the best things about being away! I turn the key, walk through the door and am always filled with such warmth and gratitude for my own little piece of the world. As for traveling, I often find that something with which the kids can draw or do some colouring in, is useful - and PAW Patrol is indeed a lifesaver in a pinch lol! Gotta love Spurge Cam. Super sweet. Congratulations on your baby news!🍼
Your kids are so precious💗
Ivy is the most huggable little girl!
❤️💙💚🧡❤️ LOVE THE SEEWALDS‼️
Jess i have watched you guys and the Bates family for as long as i can remember! I have to say as cute as each child from your family is little Ivy Jane takes the cake!!! She is just the cutest baby to date!!! Though each one of them are beautiful and a true blessing!! Love you guys a ton!!!
For me, I would take our kids to go see my mom in Ohio every year. One year I was traveling with our small dog (she was in a carry-on kennel for under the seat) and our 1, 2, 4, and 5 year old, and a double stroller by myself. By that time, our kids had been on a plane quite a few times. I remember getting off the plane and one of the passengers said, "They were all quiet. Didn't know they were back here." Then they saw the dog carrier and said, " A dog too!" They were surprised. Each child had a backpack they would carry, except the 1 year old. We would have a coloring book and various items for activities in each backpack. A few days before the flight, each child could pick a snack they wanted and then I put other snacks in their backpacks too. It worked out wonderfully! Also, we love flying Southwest because we can pick our seats. We always headed to the very back row(s). One more thing, everyone would wear flip flops. I didn't want to contend with 5 pairs of shoelaces through TSA. Thank you for a helpful video!🙂
You have a beautiful family!💕 my husband and I have a 2 year old son. When I see all your kiddos, makes me want another. Lol
My husband works at the Orlando Sanford intl airport 😁
We need a lot more Ivy! She’d be the star of the show.
IVY HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES AND EYELASHES!!❤ WELL ACTUALLY ALL 3 DO!! SO SWEET!
How has Ben's recovery from Lasix? When is the new little one expected? Congratulations on #4!! 💖🙏
This video reminded me how much I miss travel!

Jessa, you look tired and you are such a fabulous Mom. I hope you can find time to rest. Having 3 little ones and being pregnant is hard for any Mom. Maybe someone in your family can take over for a day or two. Love all of you and look foward to your wonderful vlogs. God bless! 💕💕🙏💕💕

Ur a great mom I remember went I met u ur so sweet
Welcomed to Florida we have had beautiful weather here it won't last long I've been in shorts all winter! Seems like year after year are winter's have gone away would love your weather glad y'all had fun love y'all take care..Camille from Ocala Florida
Great tips. I bring hidden object activity books & wonder coloring books. Just make sure that I fill the pen with water before hand. Also, few packages of Lysol wipes to wipe down armrests and hotel rooms.
Your kids are so beautiful! Their eyes are incredibly gorgeous. Great tips Jessa. Oh my goodness the boys looked so handsome in their tuxedo! You for sure know how to travel with three little ones.
Definitely, Ivy is a princess!!
Your children are so well mannered and happy. You and Ben are doing an awesome job parenting. My advice for traveling in an airplane with children under 4 is avoid it at all costs. You had everything well prepared so no worries. I am a Nana now. Only once did I travel with a child that was 18 months. That was an medical emergency all went well for the trip going to and returning.
Thanks for the tips
Hey Jessa, I just Love your vlogs. Thank you for Sharing 💛🌻👍🙏🏽
Munchkin has small travel size plastic bags and it has a roller, which I used for trash and dirty diapers. Back in the day, I had lollipops (dum dums) to give kids during take off and landing as treats and for the ear popping.
Perfect timing. I will be flying with kids for the first time in May
