4 ways to keep your kids entertained on the plane

Inflight Wi-Fi and onboard entertainment are key to meeting next generation demands

Private jet travel is meant to be relaxing, even fun – or, at least, you’d hope it to be. But, when you’re traveling with children, from toddler to teen, any type of travel can feel more like a challenge to assure the peace. With inflight Wi-Fi and onboard entertainment, meeting that challenge when you fly can feel a whole lot easier.

Leave your kids' coloring books and analog games behind. Instead, plug your kiddos into their favorite apps, TV shows, movies, and music – all from their own mobile device – so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a peaceful cabin during flight.

Here are four ways you can turn flight time into fun time for your kids.

1. Download and connect to favorite kid apps

Having a tablet loaded with your kids’ favorite apps is most likely a go-to tool for keeping them entertained. Travel or not, this tool provides you peace-of-mind when keeping the peace is required. With inflight Wi-Fi, your kids can stay happy and connected even when you’re up in the air.
