try to pick a flight that leaves close to there nap time…. take a stroller to get you around it doesn’t need to be checked in. Also the attendants will help you out just let them know ahead of time.

best thing you can do is to call the Airline, they have a whole section of customer service folks that deal with this, and pet travel, and handicapped etc. They can advise you on the best flights to take and everything else you need and allowed to have with you.
Happy Landings!

Since they are twins they both can’t be lap children meaning you will have to buy a ticket for at least one of them. The best thing for you to do would be to buy both of them airline tickets and bring their car seats. They can’t sit on the aisle seat so you’d have the aisle seat and they would have the middle seat and window seat. Their ears will hurt or bother them upon landing and taking off so make sure since they are so little that they have bottles or sippy cups during this time so they can suck and that will help with their ears. I don’t know how far you are traveling but ideally a direct non-stop flight would be best for you so you could get it over with quicker, but it you have to connect make sure you allow EXTRA time to connect since you will have both of them with their car seats. You’ll do just fine. If it’s an international flight they do have seats with bassinets. I hope this has helped and good luck to you and your babies. It will be fun.
