FlyRide

How FlyRide Started...⁣
⁣
I had 2 year old twins, almost 3 & we were due to go on a family holiday to Fuerteventura.⁣
The compromise of the holiday was the flight times...⁣
⁣
We’d taken a double umbrella stroller the year before but as we weren’t due to land until 2000⁣
outbound & on inbound we wanted to be able to put the girls in a stroller for the long airport queues/walks especially. when theyd be sleepy.⁣
⁣
We barely used a pram at home anymore so I didn’t want to buy cabin sized strollers just for one holiday.⁣
I looked into rentals...⁣
⁣
There wasn’t much available or that allowed me to book for the dates I need, in advance.⁣
My husband encouraged me to solve the problem & offer others what we needed but couldn’t find.⁣
⁣
FlyRide was born & a few months later we took some of the strollers on our own holiday.⁣
It was game changing!⁣
⁣
Although we knew we’d booked late flights, our scenario got worse when we were several hours delayed each way, not arriving back in the UK until 0300!⁣
The strollers were 100% a necessity!⁣

Travel tip Tuesday!⁣
⁣
No one wants to listen to Peppa, George or the new 🐷 for hours on end with no where to escape!⁣
⁣
Make sure you take headphones away with you! You won’t regret it.⁣
⁣
Comment with a 🐷 for a link to the ones we have. They’re specially for kids so they have an appropriate volume for their little ears 💛⁣

✈️ Think airlines ‘have to’ sit you next to your child? Think again!… 👶🏼 ⁣
⁣
Keep reading for more info & how to avoid the stress 😩⁣
⁣
Firstly, let me say...⁣
❌ No, I don’t agree with the charges but they’re a great way to save money if you don’t need to be sat together.⁣
⁣
Yes all airlines say they ‘strive’ to seat your family together but they’re also at the mercy of those who do pay to pre-book their seats & do so at the time of booking ✅ ⁣
⁣
If all the Dave & Margaret’s have booked all the aisle seats so they can get to the loo easily that means your family are going to get the best of what’s left which isn’t together! 😳⁣
⁣
Each child will be sat as close to an accompanying adult as possible but this doesn’t mean your entire family will be placed together. You might get lucky, you might not.⁣
⁣
On the whole these are the rules airlines will be using:⁣
⁣
2-7 years - in an adjacent seat but this could be two aisle seats. Would you or your child be happy with this?⁣
⁣
8-11 years should be sat no more than 1 row away from an accompanying adult. This could be 2A & 3F. Would you or your child be happy with this?⁣
⁣
Once they hit 12, they’re considered an adult & can be sat at the opposite end to the plane with no rules to save you. Would you or your child be happy with this?⁣
⁣
If you leave it up to chance this may not get resolved until you get onto the plane & you’re relying on Dave & Margaret to take pity on you & give up their quick escape. 🧑‍⚖️ ⁣
⁣
I also work as cabin crew & trust me there are many Dave & Margaret’s that won’t give up their seats for you because they have paid for the 💺 that work for them & that is ok for them to do. (Sorry no disrespect to any Dave & Margaret’s, not saying this is what they’re like, they’re just the first names that popped into my head)⁣
⁣
It’s a lot of money. I get it.⁣
However, I will ALWAYS pay to pre-book my seats at the time of booking to know we’re together. (This way the cost goes onto the balance of the holiday & isn’t a one off immediate payment.)⁣
⁣
Save for later. What would you do?⁣
