Check with your Pediatrician. It may be convenient to take the babe when it's super little, but that is also the biggest risk for a baby becoming sick. They have absolutely no immune system and are very vulnerable to illness. You may be better off waiting a couple of months and taking a red-eye flight or one during a normal nap time.What is the best age to take a baby on a plane?I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my 16 month old and I are flying home for Easter in 2 weeks. This will be his first plane trip and we have about 6-7 hour flight with a 1 hr layover. He's going to be sitting on my lap too. So I definitely have an adventure to look forward to.



I'm sure under a year old is probably the best age as they will probably sleep the whole time. As one poster said 3-5 months, I would assume is best as well.What is the best age to take a baby on a plane?
I've had all three of my kids on cross country flights at age 4 months or younger. They are far easier to travel with under 6 months. They sleep most of the time, and/or are just happy being held.
