Our flight departed at 12:10am on 11/01. First stop, Taipei Airport where we had a 4 hour layover before our connecting flight to Jakarta. The flight time was 14.5 hours. The kids did good at first, Natalie even sat with Big Uncle. Both slept for at least 8 hours too. They were nice a comfy and got to lie down. But after they woke up, they started getting cranky, especially Tyler. He had a melt down on every flight throughout the trip. At first, they enjoyed getting the lunch trays but after awhile, they got sick of it and didn’t want to eat at all. We weren’t prepared for the ear pressure pain they encountered and they cried during the descent of the flight. I could tell people around us were annoyed, but what could we do? Funny enough, a caucasian woman who sat a few rows back from us said to me how well behaved the kids were given the flight time while we were departing the plane, but I said to her “You didn’t sit close enough” and she laughed.
After hanging out at the Taipei airport for about 4 hours, we got on our flight to our first destination: Jakarta. Flight time was about 5 hours. Tyler was even crankier on this flight. Cried several times and would not want to stay in his seat when we had to keep our seat belts on. We got alot of evil eyes from neighboring seat holders.
