South Bend Airport FAQ
Q: What are the best days of week/times of day to travel with Children?
A: SBN recommends traveling at non-peak times, such as midday, late at night or Mondays through Wednesdays to increase the chance of flying on a less-crowded flight. Uncrowded flights may have empty seats that will allow children room to stretch out.
Q: Sometimes when flying, our ears seem to pop from the pressure. What are some tips to help with the sensitive ears of our children when traveling?
A: Air pressure changes during takeoff and landing can cause ear pain in babies and young children. A quick tip for this is providing a pacifier to encourage swallowing. Swallowing will help ears adjust to air pressure changes. Sucking on lollipops or eating crackers can encourage toddlers to swallow, while older children may find relief by chewing gum.
