WTC Flight Setup Guide

Most parents prepare for flights by packing more.

But the flight usually starts going wrong before the snacks even matter.

This guide shows you the 2 setup decisions we use on every flight with Ellary:

when to board & where to sit

So you’re not starting the flight already trapped, sweaty, and negotiating with a toddler before takeoff.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Part 2 — Seat & Bassinet Strategy

Where to sit and why we secure the

bassinet row before anything else. The

single highest-leverage seat decision

you'll make.

Built from 18 real flights with our toddler.

Not theory.
Not generic airport advice.
