dont bother bassinet
takeoff/landing/turbulance all have to remove. kakaciauciau

long distance also same.. very mafan. if turbulance have to wake up baby, even the turbulance only last 1 minute.

dukung all the way.

did you bring along those baby carriers? or stroller (not on the flight)?

depend on age. u can bring toddler booster seat but not necessary.
the carrier/stroller only until bridge. they will keep it stored (free!)

its easier to let baby sleep across 2 seats on parents lap actually.

bring lots of distraction. chew toys to lessen effect of pressure.
bring ipad, books, playdough.. etc etc.

btw, i dont trust the hot water on board. its not 100C so not considered sterile.

ask lar, its good info for me also, go ahead bro

no issue with MAS, just came back travelling europe. took MAS from KL, and easyjet to Italy & paris.

they ok with hot water. small portion of baby food, powder, etc not an issue. Immigration will ask lot of question, but for baby they will be lenient, make sure the baby is with you that time.

took bassinet if possible, bigger leg area, baby can play around in front of you.

ask again, i also cannot keep up with the replies, /k so helpful

not sure. but I did seat together with my wife at bassinet area.

to my knowledge thats true and that you cannot book that seat. only one parent can sit there for the baby because only certain number of seats are allocated for infants which will include infant oxygen mask & lifejacket. but if not many infants then they will allocate you that seat.

Give milk or any drinks. this would temporarily increase pressure inside the ear.

during takeoff / landing, where we usually experince pressure difference in our ears...

give baby / infants something to drink / chew. as the act of swallowing will balance out the pressure in our ears.

i give good branded chocolates to my kids. chocolates hv endorphins, that helps ppl to relax. usually i go for cadbury / ferrero .

for my 6 years old i always hv a back pack, with her, she carry it herself. the bag is filled with coloring books and lotsa crayons and colored pencils.

as for my 3 years old. his back pack is filled with his toys....

the best is if you go early to the airport or try to call ahead i think within 48 or 24 hours. then you might be able to book that seat. last time i had to sit damn far from my wife. damn inconvenient. especially cause ears dont work so well hard to call each other hahahah. can try. i succeeded to book on Cathay. But not on MAS. but only within the 48 hr window

not my case larrr. the other fella...

for me also no issue when booking seat with bassinet, but my son never slept in the bassinet more than 20 mins... so after the 2nd time we just stopped requesting.  i guess plane vibration or ear issue or whatever i dunno. but still wanted that seat as near to toilet. the main issue at that time but just not allowed to book the seat next to it for myself without paying RM150+ at that time..and then even though check in early that seat gone liao. so in the end my waifu sit at bassinet seat and i sit in the row behind. but in the end kinda like blessing as it was easier to get up and get stuff hahaha. the food thing, i never booked as never an issue. i dont think they will simply override a booked seat just because passenger checked in early. if so that would really be terrible service.... i would really maki them kao kao on the spot if they did that to me.

but on MAS, i really feel sad. it used to be the best. if i'm flying alone normally will still try to support hahaha. but my waifu hates mas... always got some issue hahaha. seat rosak lah. tv swivel thing keeps falling down lah (they had to tape it and shove papers in the armrest ), haha. hope to see it rise again! 

potek potek

bro, if you bought a ticket with infant under age of X months (i forgot) that seat booking with bassinet is free. chances are they already booked it for you. but i wonder why they never gave you the confirmation  its just your seat next to your wife wont be booked. anyways looks like you gotta keep calling hahah.

i think thats same as before the change. i did last time with the callback and no issue. wait like 30 mins only. strange.

Bassinet inside the plane? Really?
Where to place?
