Baby on a plane for the second time

Several days before Eid, Daddylicious drove back to his hometown Kelantan while Baby PP and Mummylicious took a flight back later on the same day.

Destination: Kota Bharu!

I was...a single mother with a crawling baby boarding a plane.

Yes, Baby PP was behaving at best as she could. No tears, no cries, just some whimper and really loud laughters filling up the very full flight. 

I had help with checking in at the automatic computer check-in kiosk by a KLIA employee. My seat neighbour helped me carrying down my oh so heavy diaper bag from the overhead stowage. 

BUT...i rather not do it again! 

First, even with all heavy items and bags were driven back. There were still items that were packed too late and baby necessities that I had to carry with me. I had...3 bags to hand carry with me. THREE!

1. The Food Bag- Snacks, biscuits, sippy cup. Very important to have to calm a fussy baby.

2. The Diaper Bag - Diapers etc with extra changeS of clothes for both Baby PP and Mummy, blanket and sweater in case in gets cold. and i also put in my laptop in there. Hence...heeaavyyy. 

3. My Very Oversized Handbag - where everything - Baby PP's Cow Giraffe, other toys, my jewelleries were all thrown in. 

Thank God for the sling! Also note Cow-Giraffe head poking out from the handbag

Second, the flight was delayed! OMG! 

Now try to contain a very active baby who wanted to crawl along an aeroplane aisle before take off. ...gah! 

Or from her trying to cross across my seat neighbour to get to his very adorable 4 years old son! trust Baby PP to be very interested in older men. 

Or from her trying to see the person seated behind you. Who was also a guy. and apprently playing a silent Peek-A-Boo with Baby PP... as were a bunch of other passangers along the aisle! (they just grinned sheepishly when i had a look to see what was Baby PP looking at?!)

Stay here PP! Stay between Mummy's legs.

Play with the camera while we pass time

Ok.eat your Red Tiger. 

She stayed in this position for a full 3 minutes to look at the guy behind me. NOT moving. 

I really had to strongly hold her or she will topple onto the aisle!

Third, I had no one to talk to about an annoying person who boarded before us. 

As with any decent flights, families with children boards first. That night, a family with a stroller went first before all other families. And there were A LOT! Lots of kids and babies on that flight. Lots! But they went first. 

Let me just say. If you have to fold your stroller before you board the plane, please. PLEASE STEP ASIDE while you do so! Let others (the others with babies and kids behind you) walk in first. Why do you think its okay for you to fiddle fiddle with that stupid stroller while blocking everyone waiting to enter the plane. Just step aside. there is room and you can catch up with you family later in the plane. Sheesh...seriously.

Overall, I passed my first attempt at being a single mother on a plane. Just don't make me do it again. or on a longer than 1 hour flight!

First place I went after touch down. A real Kota Bharu experience
