Getting to the airport with your baby

By Michael Johnson

It's one thing getting yourself to the airport in time, quite another ensuring your baby is comfortably ready for departure.

The sun is shining outside the terminal and you've collected all your luggage. Now it's just a question of getting from the airport to your resort, lying back and soaking up the sun.

So what is the secret to ensuring a hassle-free journey to the airport?

We would all love a nice peaceful drive to the airport terminal before we fly, free from traffic jams, diversions and breakdowns. But in the real world, all of the above are possible and, as Murphy's law dictates, at least one will befall you just as you're running late to catch an important flight. Add to the mix the need to keep young children happy on the drive to the airport, and the potential stresses of the journey really start to add up.
