The course helped us work out how to check in a stroller and car seat for free, how seating children works, and the rules for liquids over 100 ml. Our main criticism is the slow pace of the videos\u2014we watched them at double speed\u2014and the fact that the key information is found more in the text and tables below the videos than in the lessons themselves. If you have already flown repeatedly with a child or prefer to research everything yourself, this review suggests you do not need the course.<\/strong><\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-tldr -->\n\n\n\n<!-- lk-navbar -->\n<div class=\"lk-navbar\" style=\"margin:0 0 28px;\"><div style=\"font-size:12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;color:#a9885a;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:9px;\">Quick links<\/div><div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:9px;\"><a href=\"#5_things_we_would_recommend\" style=\"background:#c39f76;color:#fff;border:1px solid #c39f76;padding:9px 15px;border-radius:22px;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;line-height:1;\">\u2b50 What to know<\/a><a href=\"#Where_to_next\" style=\"background:#fff;color:#6b5a44;border:1px solid #e2d6c1;padding:9px 15px;border-radius:22px;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;line-height:1;\">\ud83e\udded More reading<\/a><a href=\"#Frequently_asked_questions\" style=\"background:#fff;color:#6b5a44;border:1px solid #e2d6c1;padding:9px 15px;border-radius:22px;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;line-height:1;\">\u2753 FAQ<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-navbar -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I decided that Jon\u00e1\u0161 would fly for the first time, we had one number in our heads: <strong>45 minutes<\/strong>. That was exactly how long our son could stay in his car seat if he was awake. He hated the baby carrier, he hated the stroller too, and we had a flight from <strong>Faro to Vienna<\/strong> ahead of us at Christmas, when he was not quite two years old. Flying with children suddenly felt like a very big challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Terka\u2019s Flying with Children course<\/strong>, from the Cestuj za babku travel blog, came our way at exactly that stage. She offered us access so we could test and review it, and the timing seemed perfect: we wanted to make sure nobody at the airport would tell us that we could not take our stroller or bag with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went through the course, managed the flight, and have taken several more trips with Jon\u00e1\u0161 since then. Here is our <strong>honest review<\/strong>: what the course genuinely gave us, where we got stuck, and who we would recommend it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For the sake of transparency: we did not buy the course\u2014we received access from the author in exchange for a review. Everything in this review is purely our own experience, and nobody influenced what we wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ac2381939305&quot;}\"

Flying with Children course worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer: <strong>if you are flying with a child for the first time, especially with a low-cost airline, yes.<\/strong> But there is one condition, which we explain below because it is exactly where we came unstuck ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What it is:<\/strong> 11 video lessons (just under 80 minutes of video in total), plus additional bonus videos, with text, links and tables below each video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u20ac55, although the author runs discount promotions several times a year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bonuses:<\/strong> PDF cheat sheets for Ryanair, Wizz Air and Smartwings, a packing list, a \u201cMy First Flight\u201d certificate for children, a section with partner discounts, and the chance to ask the author questions directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Biggest advantage:<\/strong> everything is in one place instead of having to collect it from fifteen airline websites and four discussion threads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Biggest drawback:<\/strong> the pace of the videos. We watched them at double speed and still had to look some things up ourselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Our verdict:<\/strong> it is a good foundation that <strong>takes the stress out of your first trip<\/strong>, but it is not a manual for every possible situation. If you enjoy researching everything yourself, you can manage without the course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_we_considered_the_Flying_with_Children_course\"><\/span>Why we considered the Flying with Children course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jon\u00e1\u0161 was\u2014and still is\u2014a wonderful travel companion, but <strong>long journeys have never been his strong point<\/strong>. If he was awake, he could manage a maximum of 45 minutes in the car, and whenever we tried the baby carrier or stroller, he made his feelings very clear. Flying was therefore a major question mark for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there was the list of worries that probably every parent knows before a first flight. <strong>We had no idea what we were allowed to take for free<\/strong>, whether the stroller would make it through check-in, how seating would work when the three of us were travelling, or what would happen if Jon\u00e1\u0161 decided halfway through take-off that he did not want to wear the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We accepted the offer mainly because the course was created by a mother who had genuinely <strong>taken dozens of trips with children on low-cost airlines<\/strong>, rather than by a travel agency. That turned out to be its greatest strength, because what we found most useful were the concrete experiences along the lines of, \u201cthis worked with this airline, but not with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ac238193a055&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ac238193a055\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti.jpg\" alt=\"Toddler by an airport terminal window and on a plane with his dad\" class=\"wp-image-349635\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-cekani-na-letisti-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Waiting at the gate is easiest for a child by a window where they can watch the planes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_get_in_the_course\"><\/span>What you get in the course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is divided into eleven modules that follow a logical progression, from deciding where to fly to what to pack in your carry-on.

We will not list those here because they are only available to course participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: download the <strong>cheat sheet for your airline<\/strong> right at the start. It is a one-page PDF with dimensions and rules that you can save to your phone, so you do not have to search for anything at the check-in desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_course_actually_helped_us_sort_out\"><\/span>What the course actually helped us sort out<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most valuable part for us was the section on <strong>baggage and baby items<\/strong>. We learned that with most airlines, both a stroller and a car seat can be checked in for free, and that this does not apply only to babies but also to older children\u2014which we had no idea about. It saved us money and unnecessary stress at check-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second thing was <strong>seating<\/strong>. With low-cost airlines, we automatically assumed we would have to pay extra to sit together. The course explained that the system automatically assigns a child next to a parent, and that there is also a European recommendation you can refer to. It worked for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third was <strong>the rules for liquids and food<\/strong>. Before a trip, this is the sort of thing that feels like a minefield, yet all you need to know is that small children are exempt from the 100 ml limit and that the rules vary from one airport to another. Nobody questioned anything in Portugal, but it was reassuring to know this in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there is a fourth benefit that is difficult to measure: <strong>peace of mind<\/strong>. When we set off for the airport, we knew what to expect, where the changing table would be and why we were leaving two hours early. Even though we did not pay for the course ourselves, we think the \u20ac55 price is justifiable for a first trip, even if you only take away half of the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ac238193aa94&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ac238193aa94\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle.jpg\" alt=\"Sleeping toddler across airplane seats and a little boy by the window with a soft toy\" class=\"wp-image-349636\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-spanek-v-letadle-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We planned our first flight during naptime, and it worked out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_slowed_us_down_in_the_course\"><\/span>What slowed us down in the course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will be honest here, because a review where everything is perfect is not useful to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pace_of_the_videos\"><\/span>The pace of the videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We had to watch the videos at double speed<\/strong> for them to feel comfortable to listen to. Terka speaks calmly and thoughtfully, which is great if you are folding laundry while watching, but we were dealing with the course in the evening after putting our son to bed and wanted to get to the point more quickly. At 2\u00d7 speed, it was exactly right, turning just under 80 minutes into 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_most_important_information_is_in_the_text_not_the_video\"><\/span>The most important information is in the text, not the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was our main takeaway, and we have to admit that <strong>we were partly to blame<\/strong>. After the course, Luk\u00e1\u0161 still could not work out exactly what we were allowed to take as baby items, so he searched through the airlines\u2019 websites. Yet <strong>the table with all the airlines and their permitted baggage had been sitting right there in the course the whole time<\/strong>, hidden below the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We received the course directly and <strong>did not go through the sales page<\/strong>, where it explains that the videos are only one part of the course and that the key dimensions and tables are deliberately provided as text, so they can be updated when airlines change their rules\u2014which happens all the time. Terka explained this to us straight away and made a note to emphasise it more clearly in the course. We appreciated that, because <strong>she responded within a few hours without getting defensive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you buy the course, take this as our first piece of advice: <strong>scroll below the video<\/strong>. There is more information there than in the video itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_would_have_liked_to_see\"><\/span>What we would have liked to see<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were missing a few things that would have turned a good foundation into a course you keep coming back to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chapters in the videos or a written summary below each lesson<\/strong>, so you could jump straight to whatever you needed to deal with at that moment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cWhat to do if\u201d scenarios<\/strong>: if your flight is delayed and your routine falls apart, if your child refuses to be strapped in during take-off, or if your checked stroller does not arrive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More about children around the age of two<\/strong>, because they are no longer babies who sleep through the whole flight, but they are not yet at the age when a tablet will keep them entertained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of these is a serious flaw, but if we were to recommend the course \u201cwholeheartedly\u201d, these are the things that really ought to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_our_first_flight_went\"><\/span>How our first flight went<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We <strong>deliberately chose a direct flight<\/strong>, so there would be no connection, our bags would not have to be transferred, and we would not have to run around an unfamiliar airport with a tired child. In our opinion, that was the best decision of the entire trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second decision was to <strong>schedule the flight for Jon\u00e1\u0161\u2019s naptime<\/strong>. On the way from Faro to Vienna, it worked perfectly: he fell asleep during take-off and managed fine when he woke up. We felt as if we were living in a fairy tale and thought we were genius parents. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The return journey brought us back down to earth.<\/strong> We were delayed, the sleep plan fell apart, and Jon\u00e1\u0161 was awake practically the entire time. And would you believe it? It was fine. He liked the plane, watched out of the window, walked along the aisle with us, and in the end it was calmer than 45 minutes in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only genuinely difficult situation we experienced was <strong>on the flight to Paris<\/strong>, when Jon\u00e1\u0161 refused to be strapped in during take-off and landing. These are the two moments when a child under two has to be secured to you with an infant belt, and there is no getting around it. And, just our luck, it must have been the longest post-take-off period I have ever spent strapped in\u2014almost 45 minutes. By our last flight, however, we did not even have this problem; he was willing to listen to our explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ac238193b925&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ac238193b925\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling little boy in an airplane seat and a family selfie during the flight\" class=\"wp-image-349637\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/kurz-letadlem-s-detmi-zabava-v-letadle-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The return journey was delayed and the sleep plan failed, yet everything was fine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now for some good news for all nervous parents, because this is exactly the sentence we needed to hear a year and a half ago: <strong>flying is now the easiest way for us to get anywhere with our child.<\/strong> At two, Jon\u00e1\u0161 handles it better than the car, better than the train, and incomparably better than any baby carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_things_we_would_recommend\"><\/span>5 things we would recommend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This goes beyond the course and is based purely on our own experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. <strong>Choose a direct flight, even if it costs a little more.<\/strong> A connection with a small child means twice the stress and twice as many things that can go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Plan the flight around nap time, but do not rely on it.<\/strong> Assume there will be a delay and that your plan will collapse.

You get all the rules for luggage, seats, strollers and liquids in one place, which otherwise you&#8217;d collect from dozens of websites. If you already fly with your child regularly, you&#8217;ll know most of the content.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_the_Flying_with_Kids_course_cost\"><\/span>How much does the Flying with Kids course cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The base price is \u20ac50 and access is unlimited, including later updates. The author runs discount promotions several times a year, so it&#8217;s worth following her website or social media.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_the_Flying_with_Kids_course_include\"><\/span>What does the Flying with Kids course include?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Eleven video lessons with a total length of just under 80 minutes, plus texts, tables and links to official airline rules. Bonuses include cheat sheets for Ryanair, Wizzair and Smartwings, a packing list, a &#8220;My First Flight&#8221; certificate and a section with partner discounts.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_what_age_can_a_child_fly_on_a_plane\"><\/span>From what age can a child fly on a plane?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most airlines will carry a baby from around one to two weeks of age, Ryanair for example from eight days. Always check the specific limit with your airline, as it varies, and for premature babies a doctor&#8217;s confirmation is usually required.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_manage_a_flight_with_a_two-year-old\"><\/span>How do you manage a flight with a two-year-old?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>What helped us most was a direct flight without transfers, scheduling departure for sleep time and things your child knows from home. Keep in mind that the hardest parts are takeoff and landing, when a child under two must be strapped in with you, and have something tried-and-tested ready for those two moments.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_get_through_the_entire_Flying_with_Kids_course\"><\/span>How long does it take to get through the entire Flying with Kids course?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The videos themselves total just under 80 minutes, so you can get through them in two evenings. But also factor in the texts and tables below them, because that&#8217;s where the specific dimensions and rules for individual airlines are, which you&#8217;ll want to go through more slowly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785245340006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_take_for_my_child_on_a_plane_for_free\"><\/span>What can I take for my child on a plane for free?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>With most airlines you can check in a stroller and car seat for free, and for children under two on your lap there&#8217;s usually also a bag for essentials. But the scope varies from airline to airline, so always check the rules directly with the carrier before departure.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We tested Terka\u2019s Flying with Children course before our son Jon\u00e1\u0161\u2019s first flight.
