Hey all-

I am wondering what the thoughts are out there on flying with newborns.
Here is my situation. I have a 2 1/2 month old who is healthy. My
father-in-law wants to fly us from Des Moines, IA to St. Paul, MN next
weekend. I think that the trip is around 1 hour. I have done a little
searching around online and have not found a whole lot so far. From what
I have found, it seems to me that the biggest issue to consider is the
noise of the airplane and hearing protection for the little guy. Other
considerations are the altitude of flight (I assume we will stay under
5000' flying VFR), speed of decent and restraint within the airplane.
There would be four adults in a cherokee so I suppose mom would have to
hold him on her lap.

Any thoughts, suggestions or experiences would be welcome.


Thanks!

Jeremy
