Hi. We would be grateful for any thoughts or experiences regarding plane flight.Our 3 are 6[with asd] ,4 and 2.We live in the UK...my grandma lives in Florida[a 6 ans then a 2 hour flight from here].Our 6 year old has sound sensitivity[loud noises,whistles etc] and does not like to sut still for long periods.My grandma is desparate to see us and them but too frail to travel herself.Has anyone had experiences good or bad or tips to share.The idea of the journey fills us with ambivalence as if it goes badly we would have no option but to fly back anyway.We are not sure whether to put the idea on indefinite hold or just have a go next year and hope it is OK.We,d love to hear any comments.NB please send us some american sunshine it's cold and soggy here!. Jeanie.
