Not necessarily . It ' s just a less awkward boner when I know the tits are actually yours <| sep |> depends on where in ohio you go . In the southwest there ' s corn , in central ohio there ' s football , then in the northwest there ' s toledo <| sep |> Do you have someone who could help you get on the plane that day ? Meaning , is there a friend who could give up a couple of hours to wait with you through security and walk you to the plane ? The friend would need a special pass to get through security , so plan ahead . There are luggage carts you can use . Call ahead and ask if you can have an attendant help you from checkin counter to the airplane . There are attendants who can help you from car to checkin counter but that is usually where they stop . Standing in line is hard for everyone and I wouldn ' t depend on them sitting happily in the stroller . Buy kiddie leashes for the toddlers , they will keep them with you and safe . You can gatecheck the stroller and booster , meaning you walk with it to the plane and check it there . The six year old doesn ' t need it for the plane . Does the three year old need the car seat on the plane ? You have the option of checking the booster , and the other carseat if you don ' t need it on the plane , with the luggage , but it has a greater chance of being lost , so I recommend gatecheck since you immediately need it when you land . Ask a flight attendant to help you get settled on the plane . Take activities and snacks for the kids . The smaller and more frequent , the better . Wrap mini juice boxes , raisins , etc . in gift wrapping paper and hand them out every half an hour or so . Same with dollar store toys . Stickers and paper , crayons . Lots of diapers . More diapers than you think you need . Pack some substantial food too so no one goes hungry . Explicitly ask for help from airport workers . Like , will you hold my baby while I tie my shoes ? or whatever you need . The stress you feel planning this is probably greater than the stress you will feel in the moment . Plan ahead but don ' t fret too much .
