Long Journey down under
we travelled to singapore several times - when my son was 4mths, 10mths, 14mths, 18mths and 23mths. and have done so with different airlines. often, i had to travel with him by myself as my husband usually has to return to UK sooner than i'd prefer. the cabin crew in singapore are ever so helpful with little ones. and it's true - they are happy to take them away for a little while so that i could go to the toilet and more importantly have my meals in peace. absolutely brilliant. they had nappies and wipes on board. and a few times, the head stewardess allowed me to use the business class toilets as they are roomier and more comfortable for changing fidgety infants. their babycots are also at the right height and hence easier to put the baby into and take out. the infant cooked meals on singapore airlines were simply delicious! (for 12mths plus or as long as baby is taking solid food-my son has his first airline cooked meal at 10mths on singapore airlines) poached salmon, creamed spinach, hearty beef burger, spanish omelettes, etc. on one trip, we went out on BA and returned on Qantas. Qantas' babycots are attached really high and unless you are 5"11, it was impossible to comfortably put the baby in and out. BA - nothing to shout about.
