We used a carrier to get through the airport. Packed enough nappies etc for the travel day/one after then bought out there to give more space in the suitcase. Bring things to keep them entertained. Snacks. How long is the flight?

Not long. Only 2.5 hours. She’s pretty good and likes being out so I’m not too worried just thought I’d see how’s it gone for others and things to keep in mind. We definitely baby carry everywhere

Favourite toy or busy board and a tablet to watch anything. Depending what time you fly she most likely might even fall asleep. My boy was awake for abit during both flights but then ended up falling asleep during the flight. Both my flights were early in the morning so we woke him up quiet early. Don't go overboard with bringing stuff on flight as its more to carry. Definetly take your own pram! Makes getting round airport easier during the waiting around

Forgot to mention blanket as sometimes aircon can be abit nippy

Lots of snacks, and drinks. Most airlines won't charge the baby bag and you can carry liquid in it. Feed a snack on take off and landing the chewing and swallowing will avoid air pressure. Be sure to bring a couple things for them to entertain themselves. Like a water paint book, coloring book, pop it toys or favorite toys.
