Relieve the tensions of travelling by bringing the kids games to play.
When travelling, one of the biggest causes of stress can be how restless and annoyed the kids can get as a result of waiting around and the delays involved, especially with flying.
Travel insurance customers can relieve this stress by making sure that they take entertainment for the kids to keep them busy during any delays. One expert said that this can leave the parents to concentrate on making sure they have everything.
James Ellis, a travel journalist, said: "What families really need when they go away is for that experience to be as stress-free as possible. One of the biggest stresses of going on holiday is getting to the airport and keeping the kids occupied in the airport and on the plane until you get to your resort, when you can finally relax."
He said that one of the best ways that parents can keep the kids busy is to make sure that they have the same sort of entertainment that they are used to at home, to make sure that they are as relaxed as possible.
"Try to keep the children as entertained as possible. Take lots of games and things that they enjoy – the kind of things they like to do at home is great. Maybe have a bottle of water, or something to drink with you, so as soon as the plane takes off they are swallowing, which helps to alleviate the pressure on their ears."
Recently, Edinburgh Airport was voted by travellers as the most family friendly airport in the UK by Skyscanner. The airport has a range of activities for families, to help them keep the kids busy and take their minds off all the delays and waiting that are involved with going on holiday.
Glasgow was named as the second most family friendly.
