[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 287727, member: 1514"] I, too had to bring an elderly senile grandmother home on an airplane. (Gosh what havent I done? LOL) We had to change planes in Charlotte NC and she started to get a bit agitated. I didnt have cards and I wasnt next of kin or really have any sort of legal custody so I was kinda worried. The airport staff was wonderful. My grandma was kinda into good looking young men...lol.. so she was very happy when this nice looking guy in a uniform came over to help me calm her down. The new plane was at the gate and he suggested that in just a few minutes he would walk her down the isle to the plane and help her find her seat. She was so excited...lol. Calmed right down. For difficult child I would get some coloring books about planes, maybe a plastic toy plane, and talk to the gate staff about boarding early. Get window seats. Ask if difficult child can talk to the pilot and "get his wings". I think they still do this. Make sure you take snacks, gum, and drink if you can still do this. I cant remember what you are allowed to take on anymore. [/QUOTE]
