Jet lag note: Traveling east is harder for children — their bodies resist staying up later. Westward travel is easier. Expect roughly 1 day of adjustment per time zone crossed.

These details help us calculate your real "leave the house" time.

Travel time to airport

How early do you arrive at the airport?

Covers security, boarding, and any setup time. When in doubt, go longer.

Car seat on this trip?

Stroller?

Number of bags to check

With kids, always add extra buffer. TSA with strollers, car seats, formula, and liquids takes significantly longer. We build in time for all of this automatically.

Arrival Logistics

What happens after you land is just as important as the flight itself.

Ground transport from arrival airport

Drive time from airport to hotel/destination

Pack-n-play / crib at destination?

Blackout curtains at destination?

Tip: Always call ahead to confirm the pack-n-play — many hotels have limited supply. Request early check-in if arriving during nap time.

Confirm Flight Duration

We've estimated your nonstop flight time from the airports you entered. Adjust below if you know a different duration or are flying with a connection.

Approximate Flight Duration

Are you open to a redeye / overnight flight?

Overnight flights departing near bedtime can be excellent for young children — they sleep through most of it.
