How to fly with children without losing your mind, from a 'flying nanny' whose job is to make air travel less painful

Courtesy of Eileen Louwerse Eileen Louwerse is a flight attendant trained specially to be an in-flight nanny on Etihad Airways. She says travel can be exciting and scary for kids, so it's important to keep to a routine, and some normalcy. Louwerse also recommends viewing a flight as quality time with your children — something that's often in short supply for busy parents. When an acquaintance told me about how she flew 12 hours from Cape Town to Amsterdam without a partner, family, or friends, in economy, with three bouncing sons under 5 years old, I could only think: How do you do that? She admitted that it was tough, but that no Home Alone-like scenes had taken place.
