flying 10 hours with twins: which seats actually help?
We’re about to take our 11-month-old twins on their first international trip—10 hours in the air! I’ve been hunting for flights using our points, but honestly, I’m torn about which seats will make this marathon bearable. I know, traveling with one baby is tough, but two? It feels like we’re prepping for a survival show, not a vacation.
Here’s what I’m looking at: we could get two economy seats with bassinets, but I keep hearing those bassinets are tiny and sometimes you get stuck next to the bathroom. Or, we could grab three economy seats and hope that extra space actually helps (but will the third seat just end up being a dumping ground for all our stuff?). Premium economy sounds nice—more legroom, but not much else. And then there’s business class, which is dreamy, but I can only swing it one way with our points, so we’d be back in the cheap seats for the return.
Has anyone actually tried these options with twins? Did the bassinet help, or was it just a hassle? Was the extra seat worth the extra money? I keep picturing us juggling bottles, diapers, and two squirmy babies while everyone else glares at us. I want to make this as painless as possible, but every choice seems to have a catch. If you’ve survived a long-haul flight with twins, what would you do differently?
