Flying With Children from Newcastle Airport ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When flying with children from Newcastle Airport it is best to book a meet and greet parking service. This way you can simply unload your family straight outside of the Terminal and head straight to check-in. You won't need to use a transfer bus which adds more time to your journey and can be inconvenient with children and babies. . A meet and greet is very good if you are travelling with children and travelling at night.
Your car is taken from you at the Terminal by the meet and greet Rep, taken to a secure car park, and brought pack to the Terminal by the Rep upon your return.
Make sure you ask the Check-in Staff if the flight is full, and if not if your family can be seated by some empty seats. This way your family can spread out and your little ones can try and get some sleep on the spare seats.
Families are always asked to board the plane first - this is so you can have extra time to get your family settled and comfortable and also so you can spend more time with the cabin crew to ensure you have a pleasant flight. |

Buying Baby Food Overseas
Read this guide if you have any concerns about travelling overseas with your baby and how you will find suitable foods. We aim to provide some helpful unofficial information about purchasing your baby essentials whilst away including foods and nappies.
When travelling with babies or very young children, then it's highly advised to pack a certain amount of baby foods in your suitcases. This is so you can arrive safely at your destination and get settled before rushing off out in a blind panic trying to find formula – it’s especially worth packing some pre-bottled packs of formula milk too - or jars of baby food etc.
Water For Drinking, For Babies
Important - you cannot give your baby or toddler tap water when overseas as it will upset their tummies and can be dangerous. Give your baby bottled water for drinking. When making up formula use bottled water also and boil it first as you would back in the UK. When buying bottled water it’s very important to check that the water brand you are buying contains less than 30 Na of sodium. If you’re travelling to Spain many of their pharmacies sell specially distilled water for babies.
Milk Powder
Visit a pharmacy to purchase your baby's formula, powdered milk. Don't expect to find, for instance, a familiar Cow & Gate box on the shelf, they are re-branded for overseas markets. In Spain for instance is called Almiron. For more unofficial information about buying your particular brand of milk overseas you should call the telephone advice line on the pack of your milk packet.
Tins Of Baby Food
Families with babies or small toddlers who are holidaying in Europe will find it very easy to buy baby food in jars. Local supermarkets, although if you are somewhere remote then try a larger main supermarket, should all stock a good selection of baby foods and snacks. As will most pharmacies. Hero is a very available baby food in Spain and across Europe. Hipp is also readily available as are products from Nestle.
Buying Nappies
Nappies can be bought in almost all supermarkets where you'll find the main brands like as Pamper and Huggies available. Please note that in many European Countries cotton nappies are very rare, particularly in Spain, so if you normally use re-useable nappies then you may need to consider using disposables whilst you are away.
