Re: travelling to Iowa from UK

[Guest guest]

Hello Stella,

we travelled from Spain to Iowa (two years ago)... It isn´t the

same... but

similar...

We went via Madrid-Chicago-Cedar Rapids (approximately 20 miles north

of

Iowa City) instead Des Moines (approximately 110 miles).

Before booking, call different airlines to find out exactly what they

can

offer. For babies under six months, airlines can generally supply a

bassinet

skycot to enable them to lie flat. Some airlines can supply nappies

and food

(some, can provide organic baby food if requested in advance).

Cots for babies up to 6 months are available on some airlines... We

didn´t

have problems with Iberia airlines, and (our son) was seven

months old.

You can hold on to your buggy until just before you step onto the

aircraft

when it will be put straight into the hold. If your child is still

asleep

after landing, it's worth asking a flight attendant if they are able

to

retrieve your buggy there and then, rather than having to wait until

the

baggage carousel.

Hope this helps,

Cristina
