Tips for Flying with Children

Make your flight to Faro as smooth as possible

Book Early Flights

Children tend to be more cooperative in the morning. Early flights also mean less chance of delays affecting your schedule.

Pack Smart

Bring a change of clothes in your carry-on, favourite snacks, and entertainment. Don't forget headphones and a tablet loaded with games and shows.

Snacks & Drinks

Pack plenty of snacks. You can bring baby food, milk, and juice through security. Sucking on a drink during takeoff and landing helps with ear pressure.

Entertainment Ready

Download games, movies, and shows before the flight. Bring colouring books, stickers, and small toys. New items can keep children engaged longer.

Request Bulkhead Seats

Bulkhead seats offer more legroom and space for children to move. Airlines often have bassinets available for infants on long-haul flights.

Arrive Early

Give yourself plenty of time at the airport. Rushing with children increases stress for everyone. Most airports have play areas for kids.

Pro Tip: Pre-book Your Transfer

After a long flight, the last thing you want is to queue for a taxi with tired children. Pre-book your transfer and your driver will be waiting for you at the second coffee shop 'Café Central' in the arrivals hall, holding a board with your name, ready to help with luggage and get you to your accommodation quickly and comfortably.
