According to a recent survey conducted by AAA Travel, approximately 100 million Americans (including 4 in 10 U.S. adults) will participate in a family vacation this year. Trying to navigate through long lines at popular attractions is challenging enough, but trying to satisfy everyone’s vacation dreams and expectations, from tikes to teens, well, that is a different challenge entirely. Eileen Ogintz, syndicated columnist and author of the popular blog TakingTheKids.com and Kid’s Guide Book Series, sat down with ExpertFlyer.com to offer some practical ideas and advice on the subject. A full podcast interview with Eileen Ogintz can be heard on ExpertFlyer’s blog.
During her interview, Ms. Ogintz offers a variety of tips for flying with children including how to reduce anxiety at security check points, how to best occupy their time in-flight, and how to make the most of any delays. “Making the trip an adventure for their kids will benefit everyone in the end,” explains Ms. Ogintz. “You can show them pictures of where you’re going, or read them a children’s book or watch a movie featuring your destination.”
Most parents assume that navigating around long lines at popular vacation spots will be the most challenging part of any vacation planning. But Ogintz says that selecting an appropriate destination for all family members while managing their expectations is by far the most challenging. During her One-on-One with ExpertFlyer.com, Ms. Ogintz offers several top travel picks based on a broad selection of activities, cost, and location including a visit to a National Park or taking a family cruise.
“Planning a family vacation doesn’t need to be a stressful time,” explains Chris Lopinto, president of ExpertFlyer.com. “Following practical travel tips and reviewing some of the exciting vacation ideas Eileen Ogintz shares on her TakingTheKids.com blog will make family vacations something the entire family will look forward to doing together.”
