She told Grazia that she wanted to take advantage of free flights, seeing as her kids are all under 5.
Leaving her husband at home, she said there was two things she always did to make sure her kids were safe when being the solo parent on holiday.
She explained: “The worst thing I can imagine is losing a child at the airport [so] wrote my phone number and contact details on a piece of paper and put it in their pockets, and also put it on their arms in marker just in case they did wonder off.”
She also said she makes it easier to spot them while travelling in case they wander off.
She continued: “I love to get my kids to wear matching and super bright and distinctive clothes to the airport and around cities when travelling.
“That way I can see them, and they can see me! It’s like a little uniform.”
Some airports even have designated kid zones to keep them occupied while waiting for flights.
Heathrow Airport has soft play areas in terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 with separate baby and junior zones, slides and colouring-in and activity sheets while Gatwick Airport has two soft play areas as part of the airport’s kids zones.
However, Sarah added that parents should avoid worrying about what other parents thing if kids misbehave while travelling.
She said while parents should “be respectful,” kids travelling is becoming the norm.
Sarah added: “Chances are, you will never see these people again after you leave the plane.”
Another mum has revealed how she keeps her kids happy on flights with an item that costs just £3.
