Travel is up this year and many families are preparing to fly. While the FAA is working 24/7 to get you to your destination safely and efficiently, we have tips to make the trip less stressful. Check out our posts, videos and podcast episodes below.
Parents have choices about their child’s safety when they fly. We recommend that they secure a child under the age of two in a child safety seat or device for the duration of their flight. It's the smart thing to do so that everyone in the family arrives safely at their destination. Help your little ones prepare for their first flight.
