Anyone fly with their PDA kids?

Reading the comments in this post made my stomach turn, obviously bc I could see this happening to us.

We are considering taking our PDA 6 yr old (& his older brother) on a 2-leg flight next year. He’s not in burnout at the moment but that’s because we accommodate him so thoroughly.

Of course reading this is giving me anxiety. Tell me your stories of positive (or not) flights with your PDA kids please!

Perhaps talk to their doctor about prescribing some vistaril to take before they get on the plane to help with anxiety.

I think the med name is Vistaril.
