1) Roll yours and your kids clothes so you don’t have to worry about creases upon arrival.

2) Dress your kids in distinctive bright clothes, so you can keep track of them in busy departure lounges.

3) Don’t forget those classic travel games for your kids that you can join in with too. Connect 4, Cards etc. A lifesaver if the flights delayed!

4) If you can, pack your swimming stuff in your hand luggage if you're going to a hotel. That way, you can go swimming if your rooms aren't ready without having to rummage through suitcases.

5) If your child has a special toy they really like to have with them at night be sure to pack it - it will help them settle to sleep on long flights and comfort them in unfamiliar hotel beds.
