Gin? :)

Books, Magazines, puzzles, games, - a map of the med and a watch to chart the progress of the flight. I suppose I'm showing my age! :)

Portable DVD player and take your own films, worked for my kids and you can get them for less than £50 on ebay.

It's been quite a few years since you have been able to do that. My eldest has been up there but it was banned before the yougest had the possibility.

My brother works for air traffic control and was telling us that you aren't allowed to do this anymore since September 11

I would imagine its significantly easier than trying to entertain/contain/control a 2 year old! Tell them to sit down shut up and deal with it!

they wont get bored, its us adults that get bored on the planes - I do cant concentrate cos am too excited so look for the alps and greek islands and things like that.

They will be boy / girl watching if its anything like my 2 girls last year.
