As there are no one-size fits all advice for every family or every baby, we gathered advice from moms, dads, flight attendants, pilots, and frequent travelers.
If traveling with a partner or friend, board separately. This will give the person a chance to stow the carry-ons. This will stop you from feeling pressured to get things done quickly when people are in a line behind you.
When traveling with a baby, everything takes a bit longer than usual. You may have to pause for a diaper change, a feeding, fix the car seat carrier, or manually inspect the formula bottles at TSA.
