Tips on Long Haul Flights With Young Children
If you’d read my post on Staycation at Luxurious Apartment in Cape Town, you would probably recall that my family and I visit our Indonesian family annually [lets hope it will stay annually.. pls hubby..? 😉
Years ago, the flight duration used to be shorter as we used to fly SQ and MAS. Roughly it took around 11-13 hrs from CT to Sing or KL, then 1-2 hrs from Sing/KL to Jakarta. Sadly, MAS has stopped its CT route and SQ’s ticket is ridiculously expensive in the holiday seasons. So we switched to more affordable Qatar Airways or Emirates Airlines. That means longer route.

Staycation at Mutual Heights 514, Cape Town
School holiday is near once again. One of our favorite holidays is “staycation” meaning staying in accommodation around Cape Town. Yup, as family with young children we don’t particularly like long drive. It’s just like watching Donkey in Shrek saying “..are we there yet..?” every 30 minutes but instead of one donkey, multiply it by three munchkins! So, there, we save the “are we there yet” for the really long, over 24 hrs annual trip to my beloved country, Indonesia.
