Air travel with children – Hugo as hand luggage
The holiday season is approaching, the vacation is booked, but a few questions remain: How do I pack my carry-on luggage, and most importantly, what exactly should I pack in my carry-on luggage? What's the best thing to pack to keep the kids entertained? And what else do I need to consider?
Oh, and by the way: Did you know that you can use Hugo as hand luggage?
Today we're sharing a Hugo packing example, a handy packing list to download for your hand luggage , and 10 game ideas for on the go to make your flight as relaxing as possible!
Important: Find out about the hand luggage regulations in advance
Every adult and child is allowed to carry hand luggage, and there is often an extra bag permitted for babies.
Important items such as toys, food/snacks, milk, a change of clothes, a pillow or blanket, sweaters, medication, wipes, changing mat and diapers, as well as your tablet, should be packed in your hand luggage.
Check your airline's specific regulations well in advance of your trip. How many pieces of luggage are permitted, what are the dimensions of your hand luggage, and what are the requirements for transporting a stroller or buggy, for example?
We pack Hugo as hand luggage for the family flight
We know how quickly things sometimes have to happen, for example, when the baby is crying for a pacifier and the ground staff is asking for passports. 😵
With Hugo as hand luggage, that's no problem! 👇
With one simple move, you can magically pull the pacifier out of the front compartment (you've previously attached it to the key carabiner) and pull the passports out of the false bottom after you've put Hugo back on his back!
Not having to rummage around is simply THE game changer!
What fits in the Hugo:
10 simple game ideas for your flight with children
- I spy something you don't see – the classic! Works on airplanes, too, with colors and shapes
- Who am I? – One person thinks of a person or animal, and the other asks yes/no questions.
- Inventing stories – One person starts and the other continues the story
- Bend picture – One person draws the head, bends it, and the other then draws the neck, bends it, etc. until a funny body is created
- Sticker book or coloring book – Some children can be creative for hours
- Card games – a great pastime, especially for older children, that everyone enjoys
- Airplane Bingo – card with things from the airplane, such as clouds, cabin crew, drinks trolley, etc. to check off
- Finger puppets or Schleich animals – for hours of role play
- Audio plays – Download first and then relax!
- Magnetic whiteboard – Take turns drawing something and trying to guess what it is. This magnetic whiteboard is inexpensive, lightweight, and can be written on and erased endlessly without the need for paper.
We wish you a relaxing and fun flight!
Your team from Anna and Oskar
