Ryan & Lucie Flying Tips

Ryan and Lucie are quite the frequent fliers - nine trips in nine months. After many mistakes and a few stressful moments, we feel like we've got this flying-with-twins thing down (or at least until they start to walk).

We used to board with every piece of gear possible - car seats, stroller, Baby Bjorns, diaper bags, boppy, etc. By the time we had finally folded down the stroller on the jet way, the last group of passengers had managed to board in front of us. So much for pre-boarding! Now, we have a working routine - check all the gear and walk on the plane with babies in Bjorns and a small diaper bag of essentials. Cruising to the gate with only a baby in a front pack is quite liberating and definitely cuts down on the annoyed looks from passengers behind us in the security check line. Though I wonder, how could you give dirty looks to these sweet travelers?
