Online check-in means you can choose your seats on the plane ahead of the crowd and spend less time standing in line once you get to the airport. While this is a good strategy for any trip, it’s particularly smart to do when travelling with children. Travel by plane involves a lot of waiting around as it is – anything you can do to reduce the amount of time waiting in line is sure to result in happier kids (and parents!)
