I'm not sure if there's a minimum age the baby has to be, but my cousin had her baby on okinawa and she travelled to virginia back and forth with her when she was almost a year old. You could double-check with another employee from your airline to make sure it's not a problem. :)

Depends on the airline I think, my brother travelled when he was 3 months. As long as there are no health risks (prematurity, heart/lung conditions) they can fly as soon as the mother thinks she can cope with a baby on a plane

:wink: could be interesting!

Hey i've been wondering the same thing because i'm going back to manitoba to stay with my dad and I would have the baby there and then sometime in 2007 I was going to come back to ontario with the baby and live with the boyfriend who would have found an apartment by then. So I also was wondering if I could travel with a little baby. But the new discovery is the boyfriend is a piece of worthless crap so i'll just come to america with you instead. Lol. :d

I don't think there are any limitations really. I'm just thinking of all the babies that are adopted internationally and are flown to america from all over. I wouldn't fly with a newborn but as long as they're at least like 4 weeks it should be fine. I'm just assuming though. Also, I was on a flight with a couple who had their 3 week old with them. It wasn't international though.

Im going to disneyland for 3 days, 5 days in hollywood and 4 days in new york.. I know it going to be very tiring for the lil tike thats all I can really think off.. It going to be great fun! Was booked before I was preg.. And now it actually hit me to think can I take him with me..

Im going with my mum.. And there no way I want to leave him home with my dad or sumthing.. My dad is great but with little kids gets a little nervous lol so I dont know wat I want to do.. Tell dad to go or take the chance and take him with me but there is also the worry of having to take everything of his with me also!!!

Another girl who used to go here travelled halfway across the us with her son when he was 8 days old.
