I am a good Mom and my kids are honor students and good kids-but-benedryl works wonders on a long plane flight.
make sure that the day before you make them play and tire themselves out. that will quiet them.
Benadryl
give them some valium
I fly with my three kids to the U.S. about every 6 months. That's an 11 1/2 hour flight for us.

Personally, I think they will sleep regardless. I was a Flight Attendant on international flights for 13 years, most kids will sleep at least part of it. Going through check-in, security and possibly immigration can be tiring!

Depending on your arrival time and time difference, you may not *want* them to sleep the whole time.

I never drug mine because of a history of problems with antihistimes in the famly. I've seen parents do and it can work. It can also backfire. Twice I saw kids get the *opposite* reaction. Luckily I never saw a child passed out without a pulse, as I did when my parents gave bendryl to me for a cold once. Even though you buy it over the counter doesn't mean that it's harmless.

Talk to your pediatrician and try it at home first. Remember that all drugs (including alchohol) are stronger at altitude.

For more general information about flying with children, I wrote an article for a newsletter a few years back which I expanded. It's *entirely* non-commercial and I like to pass it around since I see a lot of incorrect information on the subject on the net. I can't post the link but either google "flyingwithchildren" (altogether like that) or type in flyingwithchildren.blogspot. com (remove spaces).

Have a good, restful flight!
