Flying during off-peak hours, selecting seats near the front of the plane, and leaving the giant stroller at home can all help make flying with children a pleasant experience. And don’t forget to bring along snacks, a favorite toy and some entertainment.

Flying with small children is an expensive and exhausting endeavor. Today’s fuller flights, tighter security and abundance of fees can amplify that. Here are some tips to simplify your trip with little ones — from checking in to landing at your destination.

Checking in
When selecting a flight, try to book nonstop flights during off-peak hours, either early or late, when kids are likely to sleep through more of the trip.

Check in for your flight online as early as possible (24 hours before) in order to reserve good seats near the front of the plane. You’ll be able to get off and on more quickly. Those seats also provide easier access to a small space near the restrooms on bigger planes if you need to stand with your baby at any time during flight.

Beware: Shifting fees
Airlines such as AirTran and Spirit have seat selection fees as high as $35. George Hobica, founder of the travel Web site Airfarewatchdog.com, calls these “hidden taxes on parents.” If you want to reserve a seat ahead of time, call the airline. It will often waive the fee for parents traveling with children either on laps or in their own seats — if you ask.
And if you’re a frequent flier who wants to upgrade to business or first class on an international flight, be prepared. You could wind up paying more than $1,000 for your baby — more than you’ll likely pay for yourself.

Baby gear
To avoid lugging a heavy stroller, buy a lightweight or “umbrella” stroller for your trip. They are generally inexpensive (under $50) and easy to roll down the ramp and gate check.
If you bring a cumbersome stroller, the airline might have you check it as luggage. You also run the risk of an expensive stroller getting damaged in transit. Whichever you bring, wait to check it at the gate, right before boarding. It will be waiting for you when you land and you’ll be able to wheel junior to the baggage claim.

If you bring a car seat, it must be FAA certified. Although you can check car seats at the gate, it might be easier to rent one from a car rental company when you reach your destination.

Security
The TSA will allow you to bring food and drink for your baby that exceeds the standard 3-ounce limit. Bring what you’ll need for the flight, plus extra in case of a delay. And inform an agent as you approach the checkpoint if you’re carrying breast milk, formula, juice or baby food. That helps prevent any hassles when your bag is searched.
Bring plenty of snacks and all the bottles that you’ll need in another bag you can pull out when you go through the checkpoint. Baby’s things don’t need to be in a zip-top clear plastic bag like your other liquids. Keep those items separate to avoid delays. And with new security rules, be prepared for an agent to test liquids.

If one parent is traveling with two children, one of the kids has to get his or her own seat at a reduced fare.

The basics
Snacks, a familiar toy or blanket and entertainment are all necessary items when traveling with children. The next best thing? A portable DVD player or video games for older children

Cheap Summer Travel: Flexible Trips

If your travel plans aren’t set in stone, being flexible about where and when you go can make a big difference to your bottom line. Want to visit the Caribbean, but not sure where to go? You’ll have just as much fun in Jamaica as in pricier locales such as Anguilla, and your wallet will thank you. The same goes for Hawaii: Researching costs on the different islands can lead to big savings. Also, time your trip to take advantage of lower fares: By flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday, for example, you’ll save about 7 percent compared with traveling on a Friday or Sunday.
