I'm traveling alone next week with my 3 kids at 6:45 AM (a 17 hour transantlantic flight on Air Canada!)from LAX. Advice on what to carry on, activities for the plane (Air Canada does not provide kids activies or for that matter food from Los Angeles to Toronto), etc. would be appreciated

Answer
I would definitely bring snacks for them, even if the airlines provide food, it's usually stuff my kids won't eat. I would avoid gummy snacks, since those are too close to gel, which is now prohibited on flights. You should be allowed to pre-board as well, check with your airline for sure about that. If your finances allow it, I've found traveling with either a lap top computer or one of those portable DVD players a Godsend for kids, make sure the battery is charged as well (possibly get an extra as well). If they have a Game Boy, Nintendo also makes little game boy videos of movies, TV shows, etc. Other ideas would be to have them bring books on board, etc. I have 2 children, and I would STUFF each child a backpack of their stuff. Magna Doodles are great for younger kids, and hit the toy section of WalMart or Target for fun travel toys. I found stuff generally held the kids attention a little longer if it was new, so I'd usually purposefully keep stuff until after take off. Check out the TSA (US) web site on traveling with kids and make sure you explain fully to them the screening procedures. Here's the link. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/index.shtm
Best of luck to you and hope you have a good flight.

Answer
None of these links work... At least not for me. But if you're looking for a backpack, you should go to www.jatalo.com/shop

For every bag they sell, they donate a year's worth of textbooks to a child in need.
