Essentials to prepare when traveling with children under 2 years old on Vietjet flights
Children under 2 years old flying with Vietjet need to prepare essential items such as:
- Prepare food in advance for the baby, as Vietjet does not serve food and drinks for children on flights. Therefore, you should prepare formula (powdered milk, milk bottle, and ask for warm water), if taking a short flight, you can pre-mix the formula in the bottle, baby food powder, ready-to-eat food (baby biscuits, fruits, snacks, etc.), and drinks.
- Foldable stroller for carrying onto the plane (if the stroller cannot be folded, you can hand it over to the staff at the foot of the aircraft stairs).
- Thin jacket, thin blanket because it is often cold on the plane, you should bring about 2 - 3 sets of clothes in case the baby vomits, wear a hat, scarf, wet wipes, milk wipes, cotton buds, and a few diapers (if the baby is already toilet-trained, you should still use diapers to avoid walking around on the plane, especially during takeoff and landing).
- It's also a good idea to bring along a few toys that your baby loves on the plane, so they'll be happier and more well-behaved.
- It's advisable to let the baby suck on a bottle or breastfeed during takeoff and landing to prevent ear discomfort.
