[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 287774, member: 2459"] It sounds to me like you've got a good number of bases covered. Another thing though to prep him for is all of the security issues. I don't know how long it's been since you've flown but EVERYONE removes their shoes and puts all of their stuff in totes to be xrayed. Carry on bags go on the conveyor but medications, stuff in your pockets, belts, purses....that all goes in the totes. Some airports have the scanners that you stand in also. Also, Janet mentioned the pilot giving him wings. difficult child got some when we flew in '01 (before 9/11) and I was a wreck. I don't remember exactly if they let him sit in a pilot seat or not but I was terrified he would start punching buttons and flipping levers because he WAS close enough to reach them. LOL So if they offer, that may or may not be a good idea for your difficult child. :raspberry-tounge: As for the cards....that may not be a bad idea if they are only intended for the flight staff. I'm sure you could also call ahead and explain so the flight crew could get a heads up. Granted it won't help any idiots on the plane if difficult child gets too loud or has a meltdown but at least the crew will know what's going on and can hopefully handle the other passengers while you handle difficult child. Good luck! You're braver than I am! LOL [/QUOTE]
