Has anyone flown with a baby around the 15 month age? How did it go? I'm not too worried about DD's behavior on a 4 hour flight, mostly worried about the diaper change set-up on a plane. I never thought to check before, but is there a changing area somewhere on a plane? Or do you have to get creative? Yikes!

there is a changing station in the restroom inside the plane

We flew on a boeing 757 and we had no changing station..... took both of us to change him. We only had to do that once, though --- as there's changing stations in the airport bathrooms so try & time it for changing right before you get on. My baby had just turned 15 months when we flew (few weeks ago) & he was pretty good. Would start crying a little bit as he just got fidgety, but his response to the boredom was to just go to sleep, actually. He had no interest in any toy we brought for him......

i fly with my daughter all the time, ever since she was 2 weeks old. She is now 16 months. We just flew last week, it was all day traveling. bring toys that she hasn't played with in a while, so they will be "new" again. bring snacks and extra clothes. all the planes i have ever flown in have a changing table in the bathroom. My little girl is almost too big for it now and her legs kindof dangle over the edge, but it still works. just dont stress if your little one starts to fuss or cry. most people use the headphones to either watch the movie or listen to music, so most wont even hear her fuss.... relax and have fun!
