Tips for Planning Holiday with Kids

Tips for Planning Holiday with Kids

Planning is always one of the most important parts of having a comfortable, hassle-free and memorable family holiday. There are plenty of things that can go wrong if you do not plan ahead of time. Here are some useful tips for planning your next family holiday with kids:

Selecting the Right Destination

Not all destinations are family-friendly and if you choose one that is not basically ideal for kids and adults alike, your experiences might not be as fun and exciting as you and your family may expect. So, it’s important you do your research ahead of time on a number of destinations and pick the one that looks perfect for a family holiday. Normally, beach holidays and wildlife safari holidays are two of the perfect family holiday ideas. 
If you don’t do your research, you might face a number of unexpected situations such as the destination is too crowded, the hotels and accommodation options are not family-friendly and you may actually have picked the wrong season (such as monsoon). 
 

Set your Budget for a holiday with kids

Budget is always one of the significant factors that you must consider while selecting a destination. So, keep your budget in mind and discover different travel deals and packages for the destination you intend to travel. While planning a family holiday abroad, you should check the exchange rate to forecast the expenditure as well. 


Flight tips for a family holiday

The very first thing that concerns our holiday is probably the international flight. If the flight duration is about 8 hours or longer, a connection flight with a layover could be very good the relax and often save some money. 
Direct flight is good when it is less than 8 hours.  For example, the flight for a Burma Holiday from Uk often takes more than 12 hours with 1 stopover. In this case, you have time to browse different airline websites to consider more. 

Making the Travel Itinerary

Make good research about your destination is very important. The information about the destination should help you make the perfect itinerary. When making the itinerary, it’s ideal you will not always be in rush to get a flight or a train or something like that because moving with the kids might not be as easy and quick as you may think. But a little bit of flexibility in the plan is good as well. 
Involving your kids in the planning can make them feel excited. So, make sure you hear their plans for the trip and accommodate their plans in your plan if possible. 

Packing

Packing is always one of the greatest dilemmas when going on a holiday especially on a family holiday with kids because you can’t afford to pack either more or less than what is perfect. If you pack more than what is needed, you might find it extremely difficult to move. Again, if you forget to pack some essential things such as a phone charger, adaptors, medications, suns cream, passports and documents, and bug repellent, you might find your holiday very frustrating. So, take your time making a list of things to pack. It’s always a good idea not to pack things that you can buy from your travel destination. 

Mind about the Jet Lag

When traveling abroad, you should consider the changes of weather and time. Moving from winter area to sunny places to enjoy the beach for example or vice versa, we should think about preparing sun-cream, sun protection wears or other things necessary. 

Entertainment

Entertainment is key when traveling with family. So, make sure you keep the entertainment of your kids in mind while packing. Consider taking travel versions of their favorite board games, pack of cards, portable DVD player and DVDs, travel goodie bag, and audiobooks for the car/plane. 

Booking Accommodations and Transportations

Accommodations and transportations are two of the major concerns for any kind of travel and it is more important for traveling with kids because you never want your kids and family to have uncomfortable accommodations and transportation. So, book hotels, and airport pickups early to be free of concern about these important aspects. 
These are simple but really helpful tips for planning a family holiday with kids. So, follow these tips and make unforgettable memories on your next family holiday! 

Focus on Fun activities

At the very beginning steps of making your family trip, make sure you understand the activities that kids love or are eager to do in that country. It may be an elephant bath and ride or simply cycling along the remote road, visiting schools, and interacting with local kids.
Spend more time on these activities and inspire another family member to participate.
Your fun will also come from spontaneous actions. Riding a trishaw, and traversing the busy street will be one of the highlights that you do not find in your country, yet this new, interesting experience can perform better on your holiday.

Education

We believe in each family holiday, children should learn something about different cultures, and different natures and answer their own questions of why they are like that. This is also why our Myanmar Family Tour keeps big parts of activities for educational purposes.
